Pharmaceutical exec gave lap dance to doctor in drug bribes scheme, witness says
CBS News ^ | January 30, 2019

Boston -- A former pharmaceutical executive accused of joining in a scheme to bribe doctors into prescribing a powerful painkiller once gave a lap dance to a doctor the company was pressuring to get his patients on the drug, her onetime colleague said Tuesday.

Jurors heard the testimony on the second day of the federal trial in Boston against Insys Therapeutics founder John Kapoor and four other former executives. They include Sunrise Lee, whom prosecutors have described as a former exotic dancer who was hired to be a regional sales manager even though she had no experience in the pharmaceutical world.

The executives are charged with conspiring to pay doctors kickbacks in the form of fees for sham speaking events that were billed as opportunities for other physicians to learn about the drug, a highly addictive fentanyl spray. In reality, prosecutors say, the events were mainly social gatherings for doctors and their friends to enjoy a fancy meal.

I guess this is a bad thing, but actresses and reporters offering to give oral sex to people who punch out conservatives is a good thing.

why is the promise of oral sex to induce assaults
on children OK for NBC and associates??

AND this was only 1 on 1,
whereas NBC broadcasted repeatedly
to 200 million hoping to pick up a few hundred for
their criminal agenda.

These bimbos come into my office with their short skirts, hair and nails done and bling trying to sell me financial services. I take one look at them and say: “Sister, this is going to be a waste of both of our time.”

Check the dollar bills in her panties. Guaranteed to test positive for “pharmaceuticals”.

The practice of drug companies hiring 'Barbie dolls' for sales reps started about 20 years ago. By the kinds of drug requests I get from doctors, I'd say the practice is very successful.

I would wager she had plenty of experience in the pharma would, and in the selling of sex world as well.

I had a vacuum salesman show up at my door wearing a suit. Hand and neck tattoos looked like he just got out of the joint. He brought along a "ringer" --this hot number in a micro-mini "Kelly Bundy" bodycon dress looking like she just finished a photo shoot for Vivid Video. They wanted to give me an in-house demonstration. Sadly, my wife was home but I was fully prepared to watch his eye candy work a vacuum on my floor.

I did think, "clever angle!"

I’ve noticed the same phenomena whilst killing time in waiting rooms. “Hot” is the word I’d use!

“Insys Therapeutics founder John Kapoor...”

At first I thought that this guy was giving lap dances.

I have watched the parade of ‘sales representatives’ coming through doctor’s offices and wonder what they are really selling.

As she shook, the schnook crook took a look and got booked:

I went to a medical convention once, about 30 years ago. You could fall in love several times a second, looking at the demo models they had.

Wow, a lap dance. How much money do you think Federal bureaucrats, Dims and Rinos get from money laundering banks that do business with human and drug trafficking cartels?

How much did Clinton get for selling Uranium to Russia? How about Mueller for covering the deal?

MSM wants to divert public again by expose relatively petty crimes that people can relate to. As Stalin said, one death is a tragedy, a million death are a statistic. Cognitive dissonance prevents the public from comprehending such evil among our leaders.
