K&M Represents Whistleblower in $520 Million AstraZeneca Settlement
AstraZeneca has agreed to pay $520 million in civil fines, penalties, and damages to settle allegations that the company defrauded Medicare, Medicaid, and other government-funded health care programs in connection with its marketing and promotional practices for the blockbuster atypical antipsychotic Seroquel. This is the largest settlement of off-label marketing claims brought under the False Claims Act to date that involved civil-only fines. The $520 million settlement resolves a qui tam lawsuit filed by whistleblower Dr. Stefan Kruszewski, one of two relators to file a case. Dr. Kruszewski was represented by Brian Kenney and Tavy Deming of Kenney & McCafferty, along with William Leonard of Obermayer, Rebmann, Maxwell & Hippel.

I applaud K&M for this win. I am on the lookout for fraud in the Health Care industry and will promply contact K&M the minute I find it in my area. I'm a 64 yar old retired citizen living in senior housing where there appears to be a lot of drug-pushing going on.
