Omnicare Pays Nearly $100 Million to Resolve Medicaid Fraud Charges: Second Omnicare Settlement With Chicago Whistleblower Pharmacist
Date:11/3/2009

the firm represented Chicago whistleblowers in a $15.5 qui tam settlement with advertising agency Leo Burnett for alleged fraud in Army procurement contracts (04 C 3897). Last year, Behn & Wyetzner represented the pharmacist whistleblower in a $37 million Medicaid fraud settlement with CVS pharmacies (03 C 744), and the pharmacist whistleblower in a $35 million Medicaid fraud settlement with Walgreens pharmacies (03 C 742).

In 2004, Behn represented the qui tam relators in a defense procurement fraud case that resulted in Northrop Grumman paying $134 million to resolve claims involving the B-2 "Stealth" bomber - one of the largest False Claims Act qui tam settlements in Chicago federal court (89 C 6111). Behn also represented the American Association of Retired Persons ("AARP") in a case upholding the constitutionality of Illinois' False Claims Act before the state's Supreme Court. (Illinois No. 97023)

Behn, a former prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York, founded the Chicago, Illinois whistleblowers' law firm Behn & Wyetzner, Chartered, with his partner, employment-lawyer Wyetzner. Behn was the first whistleblowers' "Lawyer of the Year" honoree by Washington, D.C.-based Taxpayers Against Fraud ("TAF"). TAF's members are attorneys and whistleblowers who pursue "qui tam" cases, under federal and state False Claims Acts, against companies that have defrauded the government, such as pharmacies and defense contractors. The qui tam lawyers' group lauded Behn's "tenacity, management skills and dedication" in his representation of relators under
