You would think someone would have a lower profile when making gobs of $$$, but the greed always seems to catch up with them. Wonder what he told his neighbors he did for a living? LOL

I imagine he told his neighbors the truth. That he was the owner and operator of online pharmacies. I don't believe that he thought what he was doing was illegal. This guy was one of the first that the government has really gone after criminally.

The government and medical associations and whoever may lose money if we use OPs, are probably fed up that Americans have the nerve to take their own health care into their hands. The American people cannot possibly be smart enough to bypass all of the hoops they are expected to jump through to get the medication they need.

I can tell you that we had no idea this was considered illegal. My husband's medical license has been temporarily supended for working for OPs pending the outcome of the federal government's investigation. My husband consulted two health care attorneys before agreeing to work for OPs. Both told him that they were not illegal. Both attorneys have written statements to that effect on behalf of my husband, and both have agreed to testify for him if this goes to trial.

We NEVER made it a secret from other doctors, our friends, family, etc. that my husband was working for OPs. It wasn't until 13 DEA agents showed up at our door with a search warrant for our home and a notice that my husband's medical and DEA licenses were suspended immediately, that we had any idea the government considered this illegal. The reason they gave for immediately suspending my husbands license: Because my husband was an immediate threat to public safety. Please!!! My husband is a very good person and doctor. He would never intentionally break the law. These are the underhanded tactics that the DEA and federal government are using right now to shut OPs down.

If my husband was a real threat, why not just send someone to let us know that he should stop working for OPs because they were illegal? A year before they converged upon our home in May, the DEA claims they made an undercover buy from an OP in which the prescription had my husband's name on it.

Why wait a year before taking this kind of drastic measurement? Why not just contact him immediately? It seems odd that after a year, they would consider him an immediate threat to public safety.

I know this Chhabra guy had lots of allegations of other wrong doings against him. I don't know what all he did. I think the fact that he was a pioneer of the OPs that we all have used, pi#sed the DEA off.

Any other business developer that has made money off the Internet has not had to hide his wealth. I'm not saying this Chhabra is a great guy. I don't know. I don't believe when he started this business he did it with criminal intent. Maybe he did. I can tell you for certain that my husband DID NOT have any criminal intent.

My husband never prescribed anything other than diet pills that were controlled substances. He prescribed Viagra, Propecia, blood pressure meds, etc. He was contacted numerous times by sites that wanted him to prescribe things like Vicodan, sleeping pills, Xanax etc. He always refused. In his medical opinion, these were not drugs he felt comfortable prescribing online.

Diet pills are schedule IV medications. Yes, pharmacies can make a fortune just off diet pills. There are corrupt OPs just like there are corrupt DEA agents. In every profession there is corruption. That does not mean that every person in the profession is corrupt.
