Celebrity Whistleblower Attorney® Mychal Wilson and Legal Eagle Team Soar to $63.5M Drug Pricing Fraud Settlement

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Former top big pharma sales representative and Celebrity Whistleblower Attorney® Mychal Wilson declares "'Don't Mess With Texas' concerning fraudulent drug pricing schemes."

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton recently announced the $63.5 million dollar whistleblower case against pharmaceutical product manufacturer Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al ("Lupin"). The settlement resolves the state's lawsuit under the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act (TMFPA) against Lupin for reporting inflated drug prices to the Medicaid program, where the Texas investigation found that Lupin violated Texas law since 2005.

Here, the allegations against Lupin stated the company illegally misreported prices to Medicaid to induce pharmacies and other providers to purchase Lupin's products over its competitors' products. Consequently, Medicaid reimbursed pharmacies far more than it should have for certain products.

"I would like to thank and congratulate our courageous relator for speaking up and bringing justice on behalf of the State of Texas and the American Taxpayer," states Mychal Wilson, Esq.

"Additionally, I would like to thank our great legal team for its Top Gun legal representation and legal work including Texas attorneys Jarrett Anderson, Jason Idell, Rand Riklin, Gary and Glenn Grossenbacher, California attorneys Brooks Cutter and JR Parker of Cutter Law, Certified Fraud Examiner Andy Prough, our experts including Greg Hamilton, and healthcare industry insiders for the great collaboration," says Mychal Wilson, Esq.

Wilson declares, "In today's world, drug pricing fraud attacks the viability of our government Medicaid and Medicare programs, as well as other healthcare programs. Fraud, waste and abuse is a bipartisan issue that squanders the American taxpayer dollar."

Furthermore, Wilson states, "I commend Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his office for this public-private partnership, as well as the United States Department of Justice for investigating and intervening in fraudulent drug pricing schemes. Also, I would like to thank the Texas AG legal team of Ray Winter, Matt Miller, Cynthia O'Keefe, Amanda Byrd, Susan Miller, Damon Ong, Drew Wright and Diane Jacobs."

The lawsuit is captioned State of Texas v. Lupin, Case No. D-1-GN-16-005758 (TX). The claims settled are allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability.
