Insys-tent-John Kapoor

from White Collars, Red Hands Hosted by White Collars, Red Hands

We are back with season 9 and we decided to ease our way in with a fun light hearted... jk this one is depressing. Despite some sidetracks into discussing doctor jail, we talk about John Kapoor and his pharmaceutical company Insys Therapeutics, who created one of the first oral sprays of a new drug to help fight against pain in late stage cancer patients. However, when sales weren't hitting targets John Kapoor and Insys proceeded with quite a few shady dealings to increase the use of their new drug, Fentanyl, kicking off the now rampant opioid epidemic.
