世纪犯罪（2021）

“对，不派，你放一百个心吧没事儿”
"Well, no. No, you'll be all right."
然后这孙子把我电♥话♥挂了

除了Mark Ross
In addition to Mark Ross,
Stephanie Cauffman和Gary Blinn之外
Stephanie Cauffman, Gary Blinn,
还有许多的医生，病患，医药代表
and scores of doctors, patients, and sales reps
被传唤至大陪审团面前
were called before Brownlee's grand jury.
这些证词，再加上普渡药业内部的文件
That testimony, plus internal Purdue documents,
构成了多达120页的起诉备忘录的一部分
became a part of a 120-page prosecution memo.
虽然到目前这些文件还是保密状态
While it's still a secret government document,
但是我们还是设法搞到了一些副本
we managed to obtain a copy.
这些文件有力的证明了一起横跨全国的犯罪阴谋
It makes a powerful case for a nationwide criminal conspiracy
其中包括了诈骗，街头贩毒
that included fraud, pill mills,
医生以药物换取性服务，向国会提交虚假证词
doctors trading drugs for sex, false statements to Congress,
以及针对布♥什♥政♥府♥某些重要官员的
and attempts to target key officials
贿赂威胁
of the Bush Administration.
还提到了美国药监局被利用来
It argues that the FDA was used
以虚假和欺骗式的方法销♥售♥奥施康定
to falsely and fraudulently market OxyContin
以及公♥司♥的主要高管和萨克乐家族
and that key executives and the Sacklers
帮助掩盖药物的成瘾风险
helped conceal the abuse
和滥用情况
and addictive nature of the drug.
2006年Brownlee将备忘录
In 2006, Brownlee sent the memo
送至司法部
to the Department of Justice
做最后的审核
for final review.
一百多页的起诉备忘录一般是见不到的
100-page or more pros' memos are fairly rare.
其中细节问题的数量简直不可思议
It had an incredible amount of detail.
在我看来不管是从公♥司♥来讲
I thought that it was an overwhelming case
还是个人角度来看
of criminal liability
这就是一起非常大的刑事案件
by the company, and by the individuals.
我给你读读
I'll read you
当时我的副手转述的对这个
what my deputy said to us
案子里的某些证据的总结
about this evidence in this case.
也许历史上没有
Perhaps no case in history rivals
任何一个案子能像我们
the burden placed on public health and safety
在弗吉尼亚州西部地区的首席检察官
as that articulated by our line prosecutors
在备忘录中所阐述的一样
in western district of Virginia.
奥施康定的滥用
OxyContin abuse has significantly impacted
严重影响了数百万美国人的生活
the lives of millions of Americans
对他们的身体健康，财产安全带来了
in the fraudulent scheme and conduct articulated
如此严重的威胁和沉重的负担
in this matter
这一切都是有所联♥系♥的
as a direct correlation to that threat.
这就成为了我们和
So that was front and center for us
检察官的首要任务
and for the prosecutors.
这里边儿有网络诈骗，有邮件诈骗
The charges were wire fraud, mail fraud,
有虚假宣传
and misbranding.
还有洗钱
There were money laundering charges as well
当然还有密谋罪
and conspiracy, of course,
因为这个案子
because this was
现实情况非常复杂
a very complex fact pattern
牵扯到了太多的人
that many people were involved in,
而这些人都是这起案子
making sure that this crime
高速运转不可缺少的齿轮
both was committed and was committed effectively.
看起来正义在最后
It looked like there might finally be justice
还是会来到
for the damage done,
但是当普渡药业发现他们的某些
but when Purdue heard that some of its executives
高管会蹲监狱
might go to prison,
这家企业就开始了一场浩大的公♥关♥行动
the company mounted an influence campaign...
最后一个问题
Yeah, one last question.
最后一个啊
All right. One last answer.
在前联邦检察官Mary Jo White
Led by former U.S. Attorney's Mary Jo White
以及Rudolph Giuliani的带领下
and Rudolph Giuliani. （哎呀你是啥烂事儿都接啊）
谢谢-市长先生？
Thank you very much.- Mr. Mayor?
他们直接越过找到了
They went over the heads
Brownlee的领导
of Brownlee's prosecutors
刑事庭的头儿Alice Fisher
to Alice Fisher, the head of the Criminal Division,
以及Alice Fisher的上级领导Paul McNulty
and to Fisher's boss, Paul McNulty.
二者之一屈服于了政♥治♥压力
One of them bowed to political pressure
同意不去审判这些高管
and agreed not to put the executives on trial.
当被问到这个决定的时候
When questioned about the decision,
没有一个人主动
neither one would take responsibility
承担提供认罪协议
for trading a guilty plea
换取对普渡药业
in exchange for bearing the most damning evidence
不利证据的责任
against Purdue.
就我所看到的
Based upon what I had seen,
我都觉得丢死人了
I was mortified.
因为不可能有任何的理由
There could be no rhyme or reason
去阻止检察官在法律允许的范围内
that you would've squashed the prosecutors
起诉这些高管
from prosecuting these executives
以及在法律允许的范围内
to the full extent of the law
去起诉这家公♥司♥
and to prosecute the company to the full extent of the law,
因为这是司法部
because that's what the Department of Justice
授权我们的权利和责任
missionized us to do.
大部分的时间里，你起诉的这些案子
Lots of times, why you prosecute these cases
是为了让大众
is to get out in the public milieu
知道怎么回事儿
exactly what was going on.
就算是输了
Even if we lose,
老百姓也会知道这个案子
the public is gonna know this was a righteous case
确实应该得到法律的审判
that we really should've prosecuted.
司法部
The Department of Justice
为了让案子面子上好看
manufactured a press release
还整了一场新闻发布会
to make the deal look tough.
普渡药业作为一个主体
The company, as an institution,
承认违反了联邦法律
pled guilty to a felony
并被处以6亿美元的罚款
and paid a $600 million fine.
普渡药业的首席执行官
Also, Purdue's chief executive officer
总法律顾问Howard Udell
general counsel Howard Udell,
以及前首席医疗官Paul Goldenheim
and former chief medical officer Paul Goldenheim,
对虚假宣传奥施康定的
pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge
轻罪指控供认不讳
in misbranding OxyContin
并处以总罚款3450万美元
and collectively paid $34.5 million in penalties.
这一切都是虚假的正义
It was the illusion of justice.
那些失去了孩子的
At the courthouse, the parents of children
家长出现在了庭审的现场
who had died of overdoses showed up to be heard.
其中一些家长有了和
Some had a chance to speak directly
普渡药业高管宣泄
to the Purdue executives
他们失去骨肉的痛苦的机会
about the children they had lost.
有一位母亲说道“你创造了这种药
Said one mother, "You created this drug.
你向社会推广它，你隐瞒了它的本质
You pushed it. You lied about it.
你害死了我的孩子和其他人
You killed my son and so many others,
甚至在我说这些的时候你还在害人
and continued to do so as I speak.
在等待大巴
While waiting for the bus
运送他们去坐私人飞机的时候
to take them to the corporate jet,
这些普渡药业的高管和律师们
the Purdue executives and their lawyers
没有表现出一丝的悔意
expressed no remorse
而且拒绝承认任何的个人责任
and denied any personal responsibility.
没有一个人进监狱
None of them would spend a day in prison.
普渡药业还承担了他们的花销
Purdue paid the executives' fines and legal costs
甚至给其中的两人不菲的奖金
and gave two of them bonuses to compensate them
来弥补他们所承受的痛苦和折磨
for the pain they had suffered. （哎我可去你大爷的吧)
你觉得普渡药业的
Do you believe Purdue's marketing
营销策略是否过于激进了？
was overly aggressive?
不觉得
No.
那你有没有觉得普渡药业的市场运营
Yeah. Do you believe Purdue's marketing
是合情合理的?
was appropriate?
我觉得是
I believe so.
当最后的决定宣布之后
When the deal was announced,
普渡药业说对判决的结果表示震惊
Purdue represented it as a shocking verdict
说这个结果对于他们来说是沉重的
that was extremely onerous for them
对他们高管的声誉打击
and hugely damaging to the reputation
是致命的
of the executives.
作为部里的一员你也是这么看的么？
Was that your view inside the department?
