Summary
- Done Global faces charges for illegal Adderall distribution scheme.
- The company allegedly generated over $100 million in revenue.
- Federal prosecutors call it the first such case involving a digital health platform.
San Francisco-based Done Global faces federal charges for allegedly orchestrating a $100 million scheme to illegally distribute Adderall and other stimulants over the internet. The company is accused of prioritizing profit by instructing its staff to prescribe these medications without legitimate medical purpose, thereby increasing revenue from monthly subscriptions.
The indictment alleges Done Global, in conspiracy with Florida-based Mindful Mental Wellness P.A., facilitated the prescription of over 40 million Adderall pills since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The scheme involved misleading pharmacies and insurers by concealing prescribing activities and submitting fraudulent claims.
Federal authorities emphasize that this case is the first criminal drug distribution charge against a digital health platform. The indictment highlights Done Global's alleged efforts to obstruct justice by destroying records, undermining safeguards against medication abuse.
