Physician Paul Madison is suspected of taking more than $70,000 in bribes from a drug company to churn out prescriptions for its highly addictive fentanyl spray. But on Tuesday, prosecutors wanted jurors to focus more on what, exactly, the pain management specialist was doing at “Chicago’s sexiest nightclub” with an exotic dancer turned pharmaceutical executive named Sunrise wriggling on his lap.
Prosecutors highlighted the boozy outing Tuesday during the ongoing trial of Insys Pharmaceutical executives, who are accused of using kickbacks and dodgy tactics to get doctors to increase prescriptions of Subsys, their fentanyl spray that can be 100 times more potent than morphine.
They hired attractive sales reps in their 20s and 30s and encouraged them to stroke doctors' hands while “begging” them to write prescriptions, Mother Jones reported. The company offered doctors hefty speaking fees, often for events attended only by buddies and people who worked in their practices. In court documents, prosecutors gave the fees another name: kickbacks. And how frequently a doctor participated in the company’s lucrative speaker program was based on how frequently doctors wrote Subsys prescriptions, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors say Sunrise Lee took a close interest in his practice. She was a former dancer at a Florida strip club who was hired as a sales executive despite having no academic degree. Her management experience involved running an escort service, prosecutors said. She rose to become Insys Therapeutics' regional sales director.
Holly Brown, the Insys sales rep who recounted the lap dance story to federal jurors, testified that Lee frequently wore low-cut tops around Madison. During their initial lunch, court documents say, Lee handed the doctor her business card and “told him to call if he wanted to discuss the Fentanyl Spray ‘in private.’ ”
After one dinner in mid-2012, Brown said she, Lee and Madison went to a club, where she witnessed Lee “sitting on [Madison’s] lap, kind of bouncing around.”
“He had his hands sort of inappropriately all over her chest,” Brown said.
But whatever happened at the Underground strip club was about more than just one sales rep’s commission. As the Times reported, sales of the pricey fentanyl spray made Insys a Wall Street darling — before some of its top executives were charged with federal crimes.
The executives — Lee, John Kapoor, Michael Gurry, Richard Simon and Joseph Rowan — deny wrongdoing and have pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy.
They have argued that prosecutors are trying to make an example of Insys, a small segment of the pharmaceutical industry they say is unfairly maligned by a government trying to show it is making a dent in the opioid crisis, according to the Associated Press.
And on Tuesday, their attorneys sought to discredit Brown’s testimony.
They asked whether her memory of the events that night could be foggy because she had been drinking.
She replied that everyone at the strip club that night — the doctor, the regional sales director, the sales rep — had been drinking.
