The plaintiff claims that between March 3, 2015 and January 25, 2016 the defendants are alleged to have failed to disclose that the Company was engaged in the illegal and improper off-labeling marketing of Subsys, that certain Insys employees—including Defendant Michael L. Babich, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Insys during much of the Class Period—were complicit in an illegal kickback scheme operated for the purpose of increasing prescriptions of Subsys, and that as a result, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
