The drug companies like to act that they don't have salespeople.

"Oh... the doctors just filled out an order form for more! We had no idea what they were DOING with all the drugs they were ordering!"

BULLSHIT.

When you fulfill shipments of 250,000 oxycontin to a town of 3,000 people in Florida, someone in your organization is going to notice. Some salesguy is getting a BIG bonus for hitting his numbers. Someone is gonna wonder why Bob is selling so many more in Kissimmee, FL, than their salesguy in Atlanta.

This whole big-pharma sham of "not knowing" how/where the prescriptions were going is absolute bullshit. Even the DEA got the info from secondary sources. We KNOW the primary sources HAD to know about it, because the secondaries did.

I hope they roast in hell.
