Buy Viagra Study

An Akron man busted for distributing counterfeit erectile dysfunction drugs is headed for the federal penal system.

Ryan Wheele, 32, was sentenced Friday in federal court to 30 days in prison for participating in an online pharmacy scam that delivered the prescription drugs through the mail. - ohio.com

According to court records, Wheele was paid $15 per order and made $12,000 between December 2005 and June 2006, ok, so he made about $2,000/mo.

Wheele was not an internet marketer. He was a puppet of some foreign Sildenafil citrate marketers that were obtaining the orders and the pills. The foreigners, not named in the news report, would send the pills and a list of customers to Wheele and he would repackage the pills as Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis. Wheele then shipped the orders to customers all around the United States from his Akron, Ohio location.

I guess Mr Wheele thought the US postal workers were sort of stupid and would not notice all those packages coming from his address. Well, the US postal workers contacted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Drug Enforcement Administration. In short time, they searched Wheele’s house and found 50,000 Sildenafil citrate pills being sold as fake Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra.

I think he got off easy with just 30 days. Seems that he broke several federal laws, including mail fraud.
