My understanding of this (based on this one article) is that the excessive scripts got him noticed, and when they investigated, they found he also owned a pharmacy and used to purchase hydro for resale, without the presence of a licensed pharmacist. A doctor can legally price-split with a pharmacy, but he cannot be an owner who purchases and dispenses meds. In America, that's illegal; in many other countries, it's commonplace.

I agree with TwG; I don't think what he did was wrong, nor do I think what the abusers did was wrong. Hopefully Dr. D will get good legal care and get this resolved, but I'm not too optimistic about it. I'm also not so sure Dr. I is next like other people are saying, to the best of my knowledge, he never had any stake in any pharmacy.
