I have to agree, the scam continues with this PR'd hire... LMAO...

Scot Silber’s company, Green Valley Drugs, supplied more than $1.4 million worth of oxycodone and hydrocodone to Bararia after receiving suspicious prescriptions via fax for a large number of patients, according to a civil complaint released last month. Retail pharmacies normally deliver prescriptions to patients directly rather than to physicians. They also typically receive payment for medication directly from patients, and in this case, Bararia was allegedly paying Silber for the drugs.

Opioids like oxycodone and hydrocodone are heavily regulated by the Drug Enforcement Administration because they can be highly addictive.

“(Green Valley Drugs) and Silber knew or had reason to know that the prescriptions for these substances were issued for other than a legitimate medical purpose and outside the usual course of professional treatment,” the complaint says.

Bararia’s medical license was suspended in July 2012 after his arrest for the illegal sale of drugs to a federal undercover officer. Bararia, whose primary specialty is internal medicine, had been licensed to practice in Nevada since March 4, 2005. His criminal trial starts next month.

The complaint also alleges that Silber illegally mixed drugs to create fentanyl, a powerful opioid 100 times more potent than morphine, for general use. Green Valley Drugs is a compounding pharmacy, which means it’s allowed to combine drugs, but only with a patient-specific prescription from a doctor.

Daniel Bogden, U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada, is asking a federal court to request that Silber pay up to $25,000 for each violation of the Controlled Substances Act.
