Watch the show and you tell me what you think after you watch it. American Greed, watch the episode:

"Patrick Couch and Xiulu Ruan were two such doctors. Both are in prison after a federal jury in Alabama convicted them last year in a wide-ranging conspiracy to illegally prescribe highly addictive opioid painkillers in exchange for kickbacks from drug companies."

insert-text-here

"Top executives of one of those drug companies, Insys Therapeutics, have pleaded not guilty to charges they paid those kickbacks and bribes. The company itself was not charged criminally, but Insys is battling lawsuits by multiple state attorneys general claiming it helped fuel the nationwide opioid addiction crisis, which the company denies."

In a story told on the next episode of CNBC's "American Greed," Couch and Ruan wrote thousands of prescriptions through their Alabama pain clinic for the Insys drug Subsys, a spray form of the opioid drug Fentanyl, which is 50 times more potent than heroin. The FDA had only approved Subsys for late-stage cancer patients.

This show is 100% about the 2 doctors, but you cant tell me that Insys did not know about their crazy sales of subsys going thru the roof. Did they not wonder, wow do we have a cancer epidemic? Why are does doctors for several years leading the country in sales of our drug? Insys executives pleaded not guilty. The public is not stupid, Insys did not care that their drug to treat late stage cancer was being used just in the name of making money and giving it out like candy. Like I said, what the show on CNBC and you tell me.



oh and no before you ask, im not invested in this company at all nor i short penny stocks. I used to trade insys, and thats it. I saw the show and commented on it.
