Express Scripts sued for racketeering

In February 2026, Express Scripts was hit with a racketeering class action lawsuit alleging it used a Swiss company to disguise billions of dollars in kickbacks. The lawsuit claims this scheme diverted rebates meant for clients, violating federal racketeering laws (RICO) and inflating dr-g costs.

I’m shocked. (Project lightning joke.)

@kx Possibly. Keep in mind that Cigna has a pretty weak Board of Directors. They have mostly been a rubber stamp for the CEO.

@jx I believe the will soon push him out from the board of directors as well.

@gt I thought I was the only one who watched that town hall and said, “he’s being replaced against his will.”

I think his power has been slowly eroded for years. Things are Cigna used to be great. Used to be a great company to work for.

The hilarious thing is that in a town hall last year, when they talked about giving rebates back to the client, they acted like we were on cutting edge and so generous. They only did it because they got caught.LMAO

@gt I guess he was upset that he got caught.

This was the reason why DC was out. You can clearly see he did not plan to retire, hence the emotions and crying during the town hall.

@bq Doubt it, he will still be on the board.

This very well could be why Cordani got pushed out.

This is embarrassing and disgusting ... all to line their pockets. Wow.
