The DEA has created an artificial shortage of Adderall for years in the name of protecting public health.

Healthcare executives at the online healthcare company Done were arrested Thursday for alleged fraud, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice. The executives are accused of providing “easy access” to Adderall and other stimulants which resulted in “false and fraudulent claims for reimbursement” by patients who supposedly didn’t need the medication.

One example from the DOJ’s press release that doesn’t necessarily sound nefarious when you remember we live in a capitalist system: The indictment alleges that the conspiracy’s purpose was for the defendants to unlawfully enrich themselves by, among other things, by increasing monthly subscription revenue and thus increasing the value of the company. Done allegedly arranged for the prescription of over 40 million pills of Adderall and other stimulants, and obtained over $100 million in revenue.
