How Process Service Works

HISTORY OF MCKESSON CORPORATION

One of the worst financial scandals of the 20th century was the McKesson & Robbins, Inc. affair of 1938. McKesson & Robbins Inc. (now McKesson), a business that had previously utilized the Adelphia Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Company as a cover for bootlegging activities, was taken over by Phillip Musica in 1925. Musica, a two-time prisoner, utilized aliases he adopted to hide the real identity of both firms, Frank D. Costa at Adelphia Pharmaceutical, and F. Donald Coster at McKesson & Robbins. Click here for information on How Rush Process Service Can Expedite Your Case.

Although he successfully extended the company’s legal commercial activities, Musica hired three of his brothers, also under assumed identities, one outside the firm and two within the company, to produce flawed sales papers and to send commissions to a shell distributor under their control.

A major concern was that treasurer Julian Thompson of McKesson & Robbins realized that the distribution business was fake. It was ultimately discovered that about twenty million dollars (out of 87 million dollars of the balance sheet assets of the business were falsified.

In December 1938 an inquiry was launched by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Musica was arrested. Only then did the authorities discover that ‘Coster’ was in fact Musica, fingerprinted and released on bail. 

The McKesson & Robbins affair resulted in significant corporate governance and audit changes. The SEC requires public corporations to establish audit committees of directors ‘outside’ and to have shareholders approve the hiring of auditors. Audit guidelines were established by the American Institute of Accountants (now the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) requiring auditors to check accounts receivable and inventory.
