Wow! Why is Shaulis still here?
The lawsuit doesn’t mention it, but there are many recordings that the government had John Doe do, over the course of a year, with seriously damning evidence on them…particularly with BC and MS speaking... especially one that will surely be the end of their careers now that Teva will hear them. The fact that the government didn’t take on this case is just plain weird. They admit that the law was broken. They are saying that they just have a problem with it being an Oncology drug. I believe that the Obama Justice Department won’t let them go after one of the biggest Israeli companies. Period. This isn’t over by a long shot.
You ignorant ahole! BC was in another business unit when this was filed in 2010. MS was in oncology marketing, not heading sales, and did not report to BC. The government feels the law was not broken, there are no recordings, and there are no favors being bestowed on an Israeli company. BW is desperate in attempting to pursue this in civil court. One more thing, you are stupid!
MS was a Senior director, it will be tough for Teva to keep him in such a visible position, considering his role and intimate involvement ...He is the last link to the old regime..
BC is very slippery ,he was running the pain division. BW is most likely not John Doe as he is mentioned in the suit and the suit serves as protection against employment retaliation..
One must wonder if Teva was aware of this before they bought Cephalon. DOJ may wait to see how the case progresses before they jump in. BC didn't do his job of clearing everyone out at the time of merger. The laid off Onc reps were collateral damage / probably blamed for the problem which originated in the ivory tower. It would appear trust has been broken.. Not sure how JL will view Onc management's ability to lead because of the obvious trust issues.
Everything in this lawsuit is old news to senior leadership, Teva lawyers, and JL. They had access to this lawsuit document content for over 2 years. DOJ took a pass on this lawsuit because they investigated and found no merit. BW is John Doe. It is very common for these types of documents to be written in third person, referring to John Doe's role and including him by name, because it is relevant. In terms of BC, at the time this document was written in 2010, he had laid off nobody. All of BC's righteous clearing of the deck took place much after this original filing and met with approval of Cephalon / Teva leadership. Many people who read this original lawsuit document are confusing the March 2013 filing in civil court with when this was actually written and filed for DOJ consideration in 2010. People on this board are letting their ignorance of law skew the facts of this case.
You are right! How ignorant of everyone to think Bruce was the whistle blower. We all know it was Col. Mustard with a candlestick.
To the angry poster, i am John Doe. Don't be so naive as to think that the "lawsuit" was written all at once. We wrote it over the course of a couple years. We wrote the first document and amended it about 20 times. Honestly, there are a lot of the amendments that are not even in here. I promise you that there are probably hundreds of hours of audio recordings. Those were sanctioned by the OIG. The Govt. (AUSA of southern dist of NY) worked with us on every aspect of the case. There are many reasons why the govt., doesn't move forward on a case. In this case, i prefer not to say why, but there was never a question as to whether off label promotion occurred. It did and it was shameful. There is significant proof that exists for every claim you have read in this lawsuit. You don't need the Govt. To move forward. In fact, we are moving forward without them. When a jury hears the audio recordings...particularly of BC and MS in a meeting, that will be that! Trust me. It is that bad. They are just lucky we didn't go after them criminally.
That poster said Bruce was the whistle blower. Read again, Prof Plum, before you get hit with again with a lead pipe. Your intellect seems to indicate multiple blows to your head.
Whoever thinks it's BW is wrong... not John Doe here, nor BW, but BW was never a permanent resident of PA, and the filings clearly say that it's a resident of PA. I've got my ideas on who John is, and to you, sir, I say well played... it's a shame that the collateral damage will affect a number of folks who came to Ceph after these balls were in motion, but they shouldn't have been so short-sighted. Oh well, I'd be a liar if I wasn't happy about BC and MS going down in flames, so cheers to those two a-holes. Looking forward to the conclusion.
Hypocrite scum gettin what they deserve

John Doe is most likely one of those marketing managers who left or was forced out before the merger
Going to work today and not working for Bill, Matt, Ben and all the others misfits that Teva inherited is a pleasure.
