In Boston, a trial is underway against pharmaceutical executives who prosecutors say ran “a criminal enterprise” by bribing doctors to prescribe a highly addictive fentanyl spray to patients who didn’t need it. John Kapoor, the founder of Insys Therapeutics, and four other drug executives are accused of organizing fake speaking events to pay and influence doctors. One of the defendants allegedly gave a lap dance to a doctor at a company event in order to persuade him to prescribe the drug.
