Lilly Does Indeed Settle Off-Label Marketing Cases; Includes Misdemeanor Plea
One story is here. Lilly pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor violation of the FDCA and is paying a $515 million fine, described as the largest fine in history. The balance of the $1.4 million will go to settle civil claims, both federal and from individual states.

Eli Lilly: Indy-based pharmaceutical company pleads guilty to promoting Zyprexa for unapproved uses; is slapped with $1.4 billion criminal fine, the largest ever placed on a U.S. company.
Zyprexa Claims being Stonewalled.
Where is the money going as many victim claimants haven't been paid yet?
Something fishy going on here?
