Ernst & Young denies stealing Express Scripts data [A]ccording to Ernst & Young, Gravlin's presence at the pharmacy benefit manager's headquarters was "welcomed" by its executives. Gravlin met with Express Scripts (ESI) executives many times in 2012, the accounting firm states. He attended multiple meetings with Express Scripts executives after March 2012 — the date that Express Scripts alleges Gravlin began "sneaking into" its facilities. In its court papers, Ernst & Young specifies the dates, subject matter, and participants of these scheduled meetings that Gravlin attended. In one of these meetings, Gravlin presented a proposal for additional consulting work. "Contrary to what ESI is saying in this case, I never used ESI documents or information for any improper purpose," Gravlin said in a sworn affidavit. "I never used ESI documents or information for personal financial purposes. I did not disclose any ESI documents or their content to any third party." [STLPD]
