In this episode, The Mentors Radio host Tom Loarie talks with Howard Root, founder and CEO of Vascular Solutions, and author of the book “Cardiac Arrest: Five heart-stopping years on the Fed's Hit List”. Root shares his harrowing fight—and win—against Federal Department of Justice prosecutors who abused their power beyond all imagination. That was in 2011! The Feds' unsuccessful attempt to put Root behind bars and destroy his company was ruthless. They used the justice system to distort justice and abuse individual liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. Five years later, in 2016, after shelling out $25 million in legal costs, Howard Root won a UNANIMOUS acquittal. Even more disturbing than these five years of unwarranted persecution by the Federal Department of Justice, the jurors expressed shock and outrage that these charges were ever filed against Root in the first place! After the grueling journey and ultimate victory against the Feds, Root knew the Feds could target his company again, repeat their horrific injustices and violations of Constitutional rights and he did not want to jeopardize his company or its employees. He sold the company—which, at that time, was one of the most innovative and prolific medical device companies of its kind, and pursues other interests. He also helps other CEOs unjustly targeted and pursued by the Feds whenever asked for advice. This is a modern day David beats Goliath story, and it could affect you! Now more than ever.

Howard Root started Vascular Solutions, a medical device company, from scratch. Fifteen years later, his Minnesota company had created over 500 American jobs and developed more than 50 new medical devices that saved and improved lives.But in 2011, the federal government accused Howard of marketing medical devices for unapproved uses – a practice prohibited by the FDA. Howard professed his innocence from the beginning but, when prosecutors set their sights on Howard and his company, there was no guarantee that he would save his company from closing or himself from prison.5 years, 121 attorneys, and $25 million in legal fees later, his life’s work and freedom rested in the hands of 12 strangers in a San Antonio jury room. Would Howard and his company be vindicated by the verdict, or had he made the biggest mistake of his life by challenging the federal government?Featuring:- Howard Root, Former CEO of Vascular Solutions, Inc.Visit our website – https://RegProject.org – to learn more, view all of our content, and connect with us on social media.
