Is that stuff news? It's well known that FDA guys do favors for the industry and then go work in executive positions a few years later. Legal kickback for useful "friendships".
You should be also aware that the FDA hires external consultants to do some of their review/expert work, and the same consultants on the other hand are paid by the industry to write filings (for new drug submissions and more) that end up at the FDA for review. Complete conflict of interest in the open, and nobody does anything about it.
