Does a payment mean John Connors did something wrong?

No. Federal law requires drug and device makers to report almost every transfer of value to a physician, including a $14 sandwich at a lunch presentation. Consulting fees, research funding and royalties to device inventors are ordinary, legal parts of medicine. This site reports what was disclosed; it makes no allegation.

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (59.0%), gifts and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. AbbVie accounts for 76.5% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $3,396 and has fallen 73.1% since, to $915 in 2025.
