Two former executives of a pharmaceutical distributor company are facing criminal drug trafficking charges on accusations of illegally distributing opioids and conspiring to defraud the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the first time distributors have been criminally charged with these crimes.
Federal prosecutors say that between 2012 and 2017, the Rochester Drug Co-Operative, which buys medicines directly from manufacturers and sells them wholesale to pharmacies, saw an 800% increase in demand for oxycodone and a 2,000% increase in demand for fentanyl from its customers. Of nearly 1.5 million orders for narcotics placed between 2012 and 2016, the company flagged only four as suspicious, according to court documents.
Eller said that Doud left in April 2017 and Pietruszewski in July 2018. Doud filed a defamation and wrongful termination suit against the most recent CEO, Joseph Brennan in 2018, alleging that he"engaged in a calculated campaign against Mr. Doud to tarnish his professional reputation and ultimately shift onto him the blame for a mounting federal criminal investigation into RDC." Brennan resigned from the company last week. His attorney declined to comment.
GOOD 🚔
So ridiculous just answer way for the govt to take people’s livelihoods away to keep for themselves or trumps wall either way it’s criminal
Let me know when Richard Sackler and his kin are facing charges.
Ya know, if market research tells you that you'll be able to market 100 million pills to pharmacy''s legitimate sells and you decide to go ahead an make 2 billion pills and distribute, did you really not know where they were actually headed. . I think follow the $$.Think about it
Their despicable. So are the people that take these drugs to get high. I’m on NorCo, the most potent form of Vicodin. Without it, I couldn’t do anything. With Vicodin, Mathew Perry had a well publicized addiction. People like him make it hard for people that really need it. Wrong
“Build a wall that keeps these drug dealers out”...people like this are the real crises in our Country. realDonaldTrump will always blame black & brown. ImpeachDonadTrump
According to Trump the drug problem is caused by illegal immigrants. Who knew big pharma execs were illegals.
Brilliant idea having the drug pushers decide when to stop supply.
