That's definitely not what the indictment alleges.
beginning
in June 2004, FEDEX established an Online Pharmacy Credit Policy that applied only to its Internet
pharmacy shippers. Under this policy, all Internet pharmacy shippers had to be approved by the Credit
Department prior to opening a new account. Existing Internet pharmacies had to be reviewed by the
Credit Department to ensure that they had adequate financial security. In arguing for the Online
Pharmacy Credit Policy, FEDEX's Managing Director of Revenue Operations stated "[a]s the past few
weeks have unfolded it is becoming more apparent to us that many of these companies are fraudulent
and doing business outside Federal regulations."
- TylerE 12y agoNot all online pharmacies are illegal. Think of companies shipping stuff like catheters, diabetic supplies, oxygen equipment....many of those require a prescription.
- andyakb 12y agoIf they are shipping items that require a prescription without verifying a prescription, then they are illegal, regardless of what the items are
- Oxxide 12y agohow do you know the prescriptions don't exist/weren't verified?
- tlrobinson 12y agoOnline contact lens sellers (at least ones I've used) do verify your prescription. Is it up to FedEx to investigate whether their customers are required to and actually do verify prescriptions?
- eli 12y agoMy point was merely that this (allegedly) was not just some automated anti-fraud measure as some people speculated here.
