(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - 
In early 2005, I exposed Purdue Pharma, maker of OxyContin, for marketing a dangerous opioid called Palladone.

Maryland AG Takes Legal Action Against Insys Therapeutics
Marianne Skolek-Perez Salem-News.com Investigative ReporterWhy did it take so long for an Attorney General to finally act?
(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - 
Recently the AG's office in Maryland brought charges against the pharma company, Insys maker of the killer opioid, Fentanyl for endangering the lives of consumers in off-label marketing their billion dollar drug.

So much so that eleven years later their profits surpass $30 billion with death and addiction tolls in the tens of thousands.

Maura Healey, Attorney General, Massachusetts and her Lawsuit against Purdue Pharma
Marianne Skolek-Perez Salem-News.com Investigative ReporterRecently AG Healey "took on" the maker of OxyContin, Purdue Pharma, but did she really?
(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - 
Massachusetts Attorney General (AG) Maura Healey has filed a lawsuit against the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical company, Purdue Pharma, maker of the highly addictive OxyContin.
A concerning issue in the Massachusetts lawsuit is that AG Healey worked for the law firm Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale and Dorr who represented Purdue Pharma as a client. Perhaps more unsettling, Healey's "life partner" is currently a partner in this same firm who still represents Purdue Pharma.
