Of course, the "masterminds" of this were all idiot American citizens who live in huge mansions, thinking that they're safe.

I suspect that Costa Rica and Israel, to stay on the good side of Uncle Sugar, will do their part in this operation.

I wonder what will happen to the doctors who took part as "approvers". It's not really clear from the article whether these are the same doctors who were popped or if there are many more. They'll probably all get censured and a show trial will yank the licenses from a few (all immigrants who don't make the huge salaries required to pay for the types of lawyers required).

I guess the fact they only got paid three dollars was

the crime too cheap would it have been better if they

had been paid more. Something about this looks more

like an RIAA raid than a drug enforcement operation.

Affpower doctors allegedly issued prescriptions for pharmaceuticals "even when a customer’s answers to the health questionnaire suggested that the ordered drug could pose a danger to the customer

so the fact that questionnaire said that the drug they order could cause them health issue is not a c rime ?? the fact that doctor prescribed a drugs that could have deadly interactions with another drug is not crime ??

we are not talking about just price cutting

When are they going to start busting the spamers for offering to sell drugs to kids?

"Tracing the flow of money through this illegal network was a key element in the investigation, leading to a number of arrests and seizures."

How did they do that? They just did a quick query on the SWIFT database no doubt, since Cyprus wouldn't have handed them the details.

No doubt they took a quick look at Prime Minister Brown's transactions while they were at it. It's a hell of a world control tool, being able to examine every interbank transaction of every world politician.

Note the word allegedly, the people making the allegation are FBI officers, not doctors, the people who approved the prescription ARE doctors. The FBI are claiming the doctors approved the prescriptions incorrectly, but then prosecuting the pharmacy instead.

They hired the doctors to validate the prescriptions, because they were doctors. If the aim was to just sell the drugs regardless of the questionaire, then they would not have hired the doctors to check the questionnaires.

Yeah, they probably did just drop a query to SWIFT. SWIFT have been handing over data to the US "to monitor terrorist funding", but also to snag as many people for the IRS while they're at it...

Ah, privicy and independence. It's in the constitution, non?

"They hired the doctors to validate the prescriptions, because they were doctors. If the aim was to just sell the drugs regardless of the questionnaire,"

in the states that is crime. Also for a prescription writen for a doctor to be valid in the US the doctor must of met you in person
