have to reference the original link - http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/federal-court/whistle-blowers-expose-huge-drug-company-scam-20131104

The allegation is that Johnson & Johnson and one of its units, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, marketed Risperdal for uses not approved by the Federal Drug Administration and then paid kickbacks to doctors and pharmacists who prescribed or promoted the drug.
The company also is accused of downplaying the side effects of the drug theres research linking it to breast development in male children when dealing with physicians and patients.
Judith was working for J&J selling Risperdal, said Oliverio. She became concerned early on that what she was doing violated the law.
She spoke first to McGowan, who was a Janssen district manager based in Pittsburgh, and they agreed they should bring their fears to the company.
They went up the chain with their concerns, and they were stonewalled, Oliverio said. They felt frustrated and angry, and they felt in some way betrayed by the company.
Thats when they went to Oliverio. It was the summer of 2004, and the former federal prosecutor quickly realized how big a case he had.
Originally, this was David and Goliath, he said. This was Johnson & Johnson, one of the most iconic companies in the world.
At his direction, Doetterl and McGowan filed a civil suit in Buffalo that was immediately placed under court-ordered seal until federal prosecutors could decide if they wanted to join the case.
They did, and the local case was eventually consolidated with three other similar cases from across the country.
Federal prosecutors also decided to open a separate criminal investigation into what Johnson & Johnson was doing, and thats when they asked Doetterl and two others to go undercover, with the civil suit still under seal initially so that Johnson and Johnson didnt know about it.
Early on in the case, Doetterl wore a recording device while attending a two-day national sales conference in Texas.
