Kapoor has received five and a half years jail sentence. CBS has reported that others working for him have been sentenced to serve from 12 to 33 months, in part because of the testimony of the government's star witness: Alec Burlakoff, the senior vice president of sales at Insys, who had pled guilty and cooperated with prosecutors.
Kapoor, billionaire entrepreneur and former CEO of Insys Therapeutics, was born in Amritsar, India. He studied pharmacy at Institute of Chemical Technology in Mumbai, India. He received a doctorate in medicinal chemistry from University of Buffalo, New York, in 1972. He became a major American success story until he was arrested and charged in 2017 under RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) laws.
Earlier in June, 2020, three Indian-American physicians were found to have faked results of a hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) study they published in New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet. Both journals were forced to retract it.
Last year, an Indian-American operator and several Indian-American and other doctors participating in a home health care business in Silicon Valley were charged by US federal prosecutors with fraud.
India and Pakistan are among the top three sources of foreign medical professionals in the United States.

Thank you Riaz Sahib.
While some have addiction of Opioids, others have addition to Moneyoids! Love of money, or greed will make one do things one himself cannot believe.
Even for this case there are many Wall Street types who say, “ 5.5 years is nothing, when he will come out he would still have hundreds of millions of dollars. Not a bad deal”.
For these people jail time is just cost of doing business, real punishment is confiscation of all ill gotten wealth. They cannot handle that.
These people count success how many coins they have and how many zeros on the left side of decimal.

Kapoor's Insys (sublingual fentanyl spray) made a ton of money but there are much bigger pharma players like Purdue Pharma (OxyContin) and Johnson & Johnson (supplier of 60% of opiate ingredients) who are the biggest beneficiaries of the opioid crisis that has claimed over 200,000 American lives. It has devastated entire towns in the Trump country in the Midwest and the South. "Hillbilly Elegy" by JD Vance describes the destruction of many poor white families, including his own, who became victims of opioids.

Rashid Sahib,
This Hadith so apropos!
In fact, it describes the essence of laissez faire capitalism we see today
That has been the state of mankind since the very beginning. Every episode of history, every continent on the planet has witnessed such high handedness and corruption.

This comment suggests that the "western civilization" is just a hoax!
Notwithstanding a few wrist slaps here and there, it's essentially the survival of the fittest!
