thewayneWhat a story! The American drug companies don't like us buying drugs in Canada. So, in a rather strange attempt to reduce or eliminate demand, they budget $300,000 for a publisher to get a writer to cobble together a story about "Croation Muslim Terrorists" who poison Canadian drugs that are then to be re-imported back into the US.
The publisher rejected the book as badly written and tried to get the writers to take hush money. They didn't, they re-wrote their book, casting an American pharma company as the one doing the poisoning.
Now the American pharma industry is trying to distance itself from the whole insanity, that the whole scheme was concocted by "rogue" employees.
Man, I love a good story!
