Sixty doctors and other medical professionals across seven US states are facing federal charges for illegal opioid sales, in what prosecutors say is the biggest pill bust in American history. The doctors gave out more than 350,000 prescriptions for 32 million pills – which could provide a dose of opioids to “every man, woman and child,” in the states of Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and West Virginia, according to Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski.
Most of the defendants are charged with the unlawful distribution of controlled substances, but the accusations range from handing out pills to Facebook friends to trading drugs for sex. The methods employed differed from doctor to doctor, prosecutors said, but all had the same goal: to provide patients with dangerous and unnecessarily large amounts of narcotics.
