Internet Pharmacy
Internet Pharmacy
Christopher Smith, a Burnsville resident, started an online pharmaceutical called Xpress Pharmacy Direct. His company has over 100,000 customers. The article states, “Federal authorities began investigating Smith's online drug business for alleged money laundering, mail fraud and wire fraud after complaints from customers and former employees.” He has about dozen internet sites and a call center of 85,000 employees. It also states that “authorities concluded that Smith had been selling medicines to customers without proper prescriptions and selling drugs without a license.” Christopher Smith was also paying a doctor to write out prescriptions to patients he had never seen nor met. He is also known as an international email spammer.
This is a short article, but I just can not understand how people come up with these ideas and honestly believe that the Federal Government will never catch up to them. Also, that Smith is so young. In the article it states that he is only 25 and a high school drop out. This just blows my mind.

This blows my mind too, but you know why.. this is what happen when people drop out of high schools and Universities. In most cases when people drop out they lose hope for a better tomorrow and get invelove into all kinds of illegal activities. I think, the federal govt. should have Simth arrested for breaking the law.
