Omnicare's Risperdal® had originally been reported by a Chicago pharmacist whistleblower, who was fired by Omnicare after reporting the switching. This is the second Omnicare settlement resulting from a "qui tam" suit filed under the False Claims Act by pharmacist whistleblower Bernard Lisitza with Chicago qui tam lawyers Michael Behn and Linda Wyetzner of Behn & Wyetzner, Chartered.The False Claims Act allows private citizens with knowledge of fraud (called "relators") to help the government recover ill-gotten gains.
