Is this for real?
Are they warner employees posing as "agents" to see who will spill the beans?
Is it the Mass Attny Gen office trying to establish a case and posing as "US agents"

I heard they show up without notice are rude, pushy, demand your time right then and there and bully the person into trying to get the answers they want.

Any thoughts?
Anyone have someone visit them?
 






Dept of Health or Agents from the Dept. of Health & Human Services (HHS)? HHS agents, under the direction of the DOJ and local US Attorney's Office, conduct field work (along with the FBI) i.e. interviews of current and ex-employees. If a Grand Jury has been seated it has the earmarks of a criminal investigation. Could have started out as a whistleblower case under seal. Criminal comes before Civil so the whistleblower will wait to reap their reward. Question is whether this is a new whistleblower case or related to the unsealed Conrad case where they filed against 20+ companies for selling unapproved meds. WC is #22 on the list and the case was filed in federal court in Mass. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/1/prweb8062536.htm. Maybe they're just getting around to WC now or did they settle already?
 












It seems like they are trying to go "up the chain" to determine where orders to promote products "Warner Chilcott" style came from. If a rep did these things, because of threats from manager or direct order on a ride along, can the rep be prosecuted as long as they tell the truth?

Experienced something like this at a teaching hospital that paid a huge fine for overbilling (University of Washington). It was a civil whistleblower action but here was also a criminal case that got watered down after a change of US Attorney. Modus operandi is to interview as many employees as possible to build a case, reps will likely get immunity in exchange for testimony (I.e. Grand Jury) against higher ups.
 






GlaxoSmithKline has agreed to plead guilty and pay a $3 billion settlement to resolve criminal and civil charges linked to the company's illegal promotion of prescription drugs and its failure to report safety data.

WC next!

Heck ya we are next! We pay doctors to prescribe and hide the fees under "speaker fees." Why do you think we aren't doing as many of them like we used to!? And paid preceptorships!? Taking office staff to baseball games!? Do I need to go on!? I know the PhRMA code is a "guideline" but this is getting out of hand. I'm outta here! Don't we get 10% under the whistleblower act? OIG, please call me!

Actually, it's 15-25% of the federal funds recovered on the Civil side under the False Claims Act and it goes to the "First to file". Call a False Claims Act lawyer. Largest reward to date to a single filer is about $100 million. The latest GSK will be higher but split several ways.
 




































Ex-employee-been gone for over 3 years. Was recently contacted. I still had all my communication with a manager from a previous subpoena. Would gladly stand up against this dirty company. Problem is, the people I have dirt on are all gone lol.
 






Hell, if I was sure the authorities would see it, I'd be tempted to put my number up here. I'm not going to contact them, but I have a hell of a story to tell if they ever call me.

Better hope they dont, Rog.

Again there was a clear paper trial at Glaxo. All WC has is a bunch of people claiming that they were told to do things. No paper trail, no email, no phone calls NO CASE. The comapny will be fine.
