Kapoor ranks 335 on the list with a net worth of $2.1 billion. The 73-year old is the chairman of two drug outfits – Akorn, which specializes in “difficult-to-manufacture” prescription drugs and Insys Therapeutics, which produces an opioid for cancer patients.
The tide is turning: Big Pharma billionaire arrested, charged with conspiracy and bribery of doctors

I almost never thought I’d see the day when a Big Pharma founder and owner was finally arrested for running a criminal drug cartel, but that day has arrived.
“Federal authorities arrested the billionaire founder and owner of Insys Therapeutics Thursday on charges of bribing doctors and pain clinics into prescribing the company’s fentanyl product to their patients,” reports the Daily Caller News Foundation, one of the best sources of real journalism in America today.
Addictive drugs that include opioids, we now know, are claiming over 64,000 lives a year in the United States alone.
From the DCNF:
The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged John Kapoor, 74, and seven other current and former executives at the pharmaceutical company with racketeering for a leading a national conspiracy through bribery and fraud to coerce the illegal distribution of the company’s fentanyl spray, which is intended for use as a pain killer by cancer patients. The company’s stock prices fell more than 20 percent following the arrests, according to the New York Post.
Kapoor stepped down as the company’s CEO in January amid ongoing federal probes into their Subsys product, a pain-relieving spray that contains fentanyl, a highly-addictive synthetic opioid. Fentanyl is more than 50 times stronger than morphine, and ingesting just two milligrams is enough to cause an adult to fatally overdose.
The series of arrests came just hours after President Donald Trump officially declared the country’s opioid epidemic a national emergency. Drug overdoses led to 64,070 deaths in 2016, which is more than the amount of American lives lost in the entire Vietnam War.
As the opioid crisis has developed, more and more states have begun holding doctors and opioid manufacturers accountable for over-prescribing and over-producing the highly-addictive painkillers.
“We will be bringing some major lawsuits against people and companies that are hurting our people,” Trump said Thursday. He also spoke about a program similar to Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” initiative.
“More than 20,000 Americans died of synthetic opioid overdoses last year, and millions are addicted to opioids. And yet some medical professionals would rather take advantage of the addicts than try to help them,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement. “This Justice Department will not tolerate this. We will hold accountable anyone – from street dealers to corporate executives — who illegally contributes to this nationwide epidemic. And under the leadership of President Trump, we are fully committed to defeating this threat to the American people.
President Trump is bringing the war to Big Pharma’s doorstep
Under President Trump, who continues to fight to end the drug cartels and health care monopolies that are destroying this nation, we may see more and more drug companies finally facing the legal scrutiny they deserve for engaging in the mass medical murder of Americans with dangerous, deadly drugs.
And then there’s the question of vaccines, the autism cover-up and the criminal racket run by the CDC, Big Pharma and the lying mainstream media. When that medical fraud and corruption scandal blows sky-high, we may see dozens of pharmaceutical officials going to prison.
Well lets see if this CEO goes to jail and for how long. Mr Trump is stepping in to many big toes…hope he stays long enough to clean the nation from white glove gangsters
PS there is just a little bit more to say, and that is are they trying to tell us that the ROTHSCHILDS And The ROCKERFELLERS have nothing to do with Big Pharma, in that case I will make a little moderation in the saying of JOHN MACKENROE, And say Are You Fucking Serious.
I sometimes get the feeling, with all these Revelations and the Hollywood paedophilia now Spotlighted, That it will all be wrapped up pretty soon and the Real Villains walking Scott Free, and that it was all just for show, so that the Public will be mollified that at last something was at last being Done, whereby you can still these smug Bastards saying to everybody this has been in the Pipeline for a Long time, and now we can finally release all this Evidence to the Public, and that now at last the public can rest comfortably in their beds at night, but in saying this I want to be wrong, because I do not want to sound like a cynical 80 year old man, Which I Bloody Well Am.
It’s been a long road, and we’re not there yet, Tony, but it’s happening. Their untouchable world is disintegrating, people are getting it, and it will continue. It’s slow progress, but I think the snowball is rolling.
Thanks BP. it is always good to hear that things are still happening, because honestly people all over all the world need to be positive, myself Included.it is just that when we get old we get a little Impatient, I am always looking for Headlines like. all of the ROTHSCHILDS And The ROCKERFELLERS rounded up and arrested to stand trial for genocidal murder of Millions Of People Worldwide, for the toxic use and abuse in Flu Vaccines and medicines in general, and where in the hell did this John Kapoor come from, is he not just someone who takes the heat of the real Bad Guy’s, he has only made 2 billion that really is slim pickings, Because these other two Lizards have made Trillions out of Billions Of Deaths Worldwide.
It did occur to me that Kapoor may be a sacrificial lamb. Soon they will run out of underlings to throw under the bus, however, and that “soon” is fast approaching. We are all impatient, and beyond, but it is happening.

If I was mid-level slime like Kipoor (and that would depend on what type of being you ask), right about now I’d be seriously considering outing or offing some upper level scumbags…in so doing, directing the focus to other higher ranked psychopaths.
Not intended as malicious advice.
But, when you think about it, a little discord among them may produce some much needed satisfaction levity.
This is very powerfull and amazing star earth the big icture
Vaccine pushers next?
