RUDY INC.
By Selling Very Public Image, the Private Giuliani Prospers
By ERIC LIPTON
When the manufacturer of the drug OxyContin — a top-selling prescription painkiller that was proving lethal in a ballooning black market — needed to tackle its growing legal and public relations problems, it hired a former mayor of New York best known for his formidable public safety credentials, Rudolph W. Giuliani.
Only months later, the Department of Justice, the cabinet agency charged with combating drug crimes and abuse, including traffic in OxyContin, also turned to Mr. Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor, and the consulting firm he had set up with a dozen of his aides.
The dual contracts only hint at Mr. Giuliani's remarkable success in building a business empire since leaving City Hall in December 2001. In its two years of existence,
his firm, Giuliani Partners, has earned tens of millions of dollars by assembling an extremely broad range of clients, jumping almost immediately into the ranks of the nation's most prestigious consulting firms, according to two industry guides. A detailed examination of its business practices shows that the firm's work for its 20 or so clients — with at least two on different sides of the same issue — stretches well beyond providing advice on policing and domestic security, the type of job that has produced the most publicity for Giuliani Partners.
much more... altho not mentioned in this article is how Giuliani Partners has a big contract with the federal government to study the "dangers of importing drugs" from Canada and other countries...why am I not surprised. Dubya using Giuliano to scare old people about ordering their drugs online from Canada--the bastards!
