3 plead guilty in Internet pharmacy case










By: North County Times wire services

SAN DIEGO - Three of the principals of an Internet pharmacy business known as MyRxForLess pleaded guilty in federal court today to charges related to their roles in an Internet scheme.

Charles William Naron of Lake Worth, Fla. pleaded guilty to conspiracy, conspiracy to launder money and criminal forfeiture. In his plea, Naron admitted that beginning in December 2002 and continuing until his arrest Nov. 5, he, together with Stephen Lewis and Pamela Lewis, operated MyRxForLess in his hometown.

Naron acknowledged that his company had a Web site where customers could order prescription drugs without having a prior prescription.

The Web site falsely stated that all the drugs were obtained from a reputable Mexican pharmacy and falsely indicated that people could lawfully import a 90-day supply of prescription pharmaceuticals into the United States.

Naron further admitted that he purchased monthly shipments of generic Viagra and generic Cialis from Mark Kolowich in San Diego, knowing that the pharmaceuticals were not made by the manufacturers who own the trade names for Viagra and Cialis.

Instead, these generic drugs were made for Kolowich in India and Mexico. The monthly shipments of generic Viagra and Cialis were sent from San Diego by private commercial interstate carrier to Naron in Florida and a person in Arizona, after which they were distributed to customers of MyRxForLess.

Kolowich pleaded guilty to selling counterfeit pharmaceuticals and was sentenced last week to 51 months in prison.

Naron is scheduled to be sentenced April 18 by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Miller.

Stephen and Pamela Lewis of Boyton Beach, Fla. pleaded guilty to conspiracy and criminal forfeiture. They agreed to forfeit their home in Boyton Beach and their interest in three bank accounts as part of the plea agreement.

old&wise, do you know if LE just goes after the suppliers or do they come after the consumers, too? It's too bad a few creeps have to tarnish the OP reputation! Thanks for the info.
