From the 11/30 Show – Corporate Malfeasance At Its Best

The last ten minutes of the show focused on Cardinal Health, a reportedly $80 billion dollar “health care” company. Cardinal recently paid a $34 million dollar fine to settle a DEA case in which Cardinal was accused “of allowing the diversion of millions of dosage units of hydrocodone from legitimate to non-legitimate channels”. The show revealed a suggested pattern of abuse and disregard for the public by Cardinal Health.
It was also revealed on the show that Cardinal had a history of malfeasance going back to at least the year 2000. They have recently paid a $35 million dollar fine for Security and Exchange irregularities and paid an $11 million dollar fine to the State of New York “for drug diversion” which ultimately endangered the consumer. To the frustration of some, no jail time or probation for anyone associated with Cardinal.
All this from Cardinal Health, in spite of creating “the position of chief ethics and compliance officer” in 2005.
