The former leaders of Outcome Health were greedy fraudsters, the government alleged during opening arguments in theirMonday morning, while defense attorneys described them as earnest executives who were deceived by their underlings.
All three have pleaded not guilty to the charges. Some of the counts against them carry sentences of up to 30 years in prison. The trial is expected to last as long as 14 weeks.During opening arguments Monday morning, attorneys made it clear that much of the trial will focus on what the three knew and didn’t know about the alleged fraud.
Hankey told the jury they’ll see text and voice messages between the defendants as well as hear testimony from former Outcome employees. Desai is expected to testify that Outcome told pharmaceutical company clients that it had screens in more doctors’ offices than it really did and underdelivered on ad campaigns while charging clients as if it had delivered in full, according to a court filing by the government. He’s also expected to testify about alleged efforts to deceive an outside auditor who examined Outcome’s business, and that he repeatedly presented misleading return-on-investment results to clients.
“Did Mr. Shah trust people he shouldn’t have? Yes, and he’s going to have to live with that,” Hueston said. “But what he didn’t do is he didn’t commit fraud.”
