Valeant Pharmaceuticals

Valeant Pharmaceuticals, a Canadian-based drug company, was implicated in some rather creative accounting practices by the SEC. In 2018, an executive at Valeant even went to prison for the fraud, which included using a mail-order business to artificially juice sales.

Valeant’s name was changed to Bausch Health, putting its most wholesome brand, Bausch & Lomb, front and center. Who doesn’t love and appreciate products that take care of their eyes?
