Is paying fines corrupt? I would say that dodging fines would be considerably more corrupt.


They pay fines for their corrupt behavior. You understood it wrong


Simply because you are forced to pay fines doesn't mean you are "corrupt".

The abstract indicates most of the fines come from "illegal off-label drug promotion" and "overcharging state governments". It could be argued that the first shouldn't even be an issue, and the second, depending on how "overcharging" is defined could be outright fraud on the part of big pharma, fraud on the part of state governments, or something in between.
