Quote of the year.

PharmaFraud - December 29, 2007 7:14 PM

A Whistleblower's primary goal is to put a stop to the retaliation against him, and to ensure that the problem is corrected.

The reality though, is a company that retaliates against an employee in order to cover up fraud, will never admit wrong doing and will never admit to the fraud. The whistleblower is left with no reasonble option, but to file a qui tam.

I find it very unjust that a whistleblower cannot even begin to seek a remedy for the felonies committed against them until after the qui tam is unsealed.

I will tell you this; by the time a whistleblower has been forced to file a qui tam, the idea of receiveing justice has ceased to exist. And since the employer has made this an issue about money only, you can be damn sure that a whistleblower will squeeze every last penny they possibly can from such a sociopathic corporation.

Based on the consistent behavior of swift and relentless retaliation against anyone who blows the whistle, the best course of action after finding and reporting fraud to the employer one time, is to gather as much evidence as possible, and file a qui tam as soon as possible.

Quote found in response to the post Unsealed qui tam complaint against Pfizer is pressing forward on the Whistleblower Law Blog.

"Leave your comment" - to the mercy of good doc? Where have all the comments gone? Most don't "get made" and those that R made don't show up.
It ain't like in the "good old days" hardly 2 short years ago. Pity!

Dr. Rost,

This year I'm going to ring in the new year with a toast to you, a toast to justice for whistleblowers in 2008, and a toast to my family.

Happy New Year!

Anon, not sure I understand your comment correctly, but yes, people comment less now than two years ago . . . new crop of people I guess. If your question is about the spam filter/comment moderation, this has to be turned on, since every time I've tried to turn it off, i get tons of spam comments . . . sorry for the hassle . . . regular comments do get through!

Justice delayed is justice denied . . . especially when that delay leaves millions of patients taking drugs they shouldn't be taking over the span of years while the Justice Department slogs along in their sealed investigations. Patients and consumers should be somehow informed and/or the Justice Department move faster for the sake of patient lives involved. The whistleblowers have done their part to save these lives, we need something on the Justice Department's side to compare with that . . .
