David Phillips, founder of NKP Medical, was arrested on drug charges and his attempt to have the founder of my company killed. My boss worked with Phillips and built the company up from nothing to one of the biggest in the industry. After a falling out my boss started a new company that offers a better product at a higher price point. We aren't really competing. And yet Phillips, in his drug addled mind felt threatened enough to put out a hit on my boss. I can't share all the details, but let's just say I believe we can leave 'allegedly' off the table, whether Phillips is found guilty or not. The story is pretty amazing and I feel like I lived through one of those stupid criminal movies where they shoot themselves while trying to rob the bank. My boss was told to go into witness protection but bravely decided not to run and worked to help the agency involved arrests everyone. He was maybe days from being killed. Here's one odd detail. Both companies were going to be at a plastic surgery conference only a couple weeks after my boss learned about the hit. And our booths were right across the aisle from each other. If the sting and arrest hadn't have gone down they would have been there together. The day of the arrest six agencies and dozens of law enforcement officers arrived, arrested Phillips and walked all the employees out of the building with their hands in the air. Now, it looks like most of the competing companies smell blood in the water and are actively trying to push NKP toward sale while picking off clients. I'd like to think that this reflects on the quality of our product, but really it's just the result of a very insecure man and his drug fueled paranoia. "Cocaine's a hell of a drug." - Rick James
