11 Gang Members Indicted in South Florida
TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum and Palm Beach County
Sheriff Ric Bradshaw today announced multiple arrests under indictments
issued by the 18th Statewide Grand Jury. The indictments were handed down
earlier this month against 11 members of Top 6, a dangerous gang that
operates statewide, on charges of criminal racketeering and conspiracy to
commit racketeering.
“Without the partnerships with local, state and federal authorities, this
cooperative crackdown on gangs would not be possible,” said Attorney
General McCollum. “We’re going to keep taking these dangerous criminals off
our streets and out of our neighborhoods.”
Search warrants were served yesterday at the residences of the defendants
wanted on the racketeering charges. These arrests are the culmination of an
extensive two-year investigation named “Operation Deep Six.” Local and
state authorities believe the gang has been responsible for numerous
violent crimes including homicide, attempted homicide, drive-by shootings,
armed robberies, weapons possession, and other violence-related crimes.
“I commend all of the law enforcement agencies that stepped forward and
cinched their belts locally and joined the task force to ensure it was
successful. Our communities deserve to live in peace and tranquility,” said
Colonel Michael Gauger of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. “Our
residents deserve a safe environment to live, to raise their children and
not worry about being victims of violence. Local and state law enforcement
delivered a message that violence will not be tolerated.”
“Florida law enforcement is serious about cracking down on gangs,” said
Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Bailey. “We've
stepped up training, improved intelligence collection and we're out in full
force to dismantle violent organizations.”
The 11 individuals arrested on RICO charges have been identified as the
core group of the gang:
- Futo Charles – DOB 10/30/1980
- John Jerome – DOB 08/27/1982
- Daniel Jerome – DOB 07/18/1986
- Thomy Thomas – DOB 05/24/1982
- Daniello Olius – DOB 07/18/1978
- Ernst Exavier – DOB 09/18/1983
- Smith Dort – DOB 12/25/1986
- Jesse Thomas – DOB 03/11/1986
- Wilson Gilles – DOB 05/24/1988
- Carlington Gordon – DOB 06/28/1985
- Wilbertson Noelzinord – DOB 09/26/1985
Over the past two years the Violent Crime Task Force has investigated 41
shootings and 14 homicides, including the triple homicide in Lake Worth on
March 27, 2007, directly related to this gang. Law enforcement has also
attributed over 150 shootings, including the 2006 Christmas Eve shooting at
the Boynton Beach Mall, to Top 6 over the same time period. This gang has
been an extremely active and violent criminal enterprise in Palm Beach
County for several years.
Attorney General Bill McCollum’s Office of Statewide Prosecution will
prosecute the 11 individuals arrested in the 15th Judicial Circuit using
the racketeering charges to attack the gang as an organized criminal
operation. To address the gang issue on a statewide level, the Attorney
General’s Office launched the Statewide Grand Jury in August to investigate
criminal gang activity including crimes involving narcotics or other
dangerous drugs and robbery, as well as violations of the Florida Racketeer
Influenced and Corruption Organization (RICO) Act. The jurors are also
studying various criminal issues and have made recommendations on needed
laws to deter gang activities and punish those involved in these pursuits.
The agencies involved in the operation include the Attorney General’s
Office of Statewide Prosecution, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office,
the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Drug
Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the
Boynton Beach Police Department, the Lake Worth Police Department, the
Lantana Police Department, the State Attorney’s Office for the 15th
Judicial Circuit, the Palm Beach County Violent Crimes Task Force, and the
Palm Beach County Gang Task Force.11 Gang Members Indicted in South Florida

VIDEO: Barack speaks to staff
Hello Everyone, Evelyn here, with a message from the camp for Presidential hopeful Barack Obama. -------------------- Dear Evelyn -- I want to share a very special video with you that shows a side of Barack Obama few outside the campaign have seen. A few days after he became the presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack spoke to campaign staff and volunteers at our headquarters in Chicago. He shared his personal thoughts about what we had accomplished and outlined the challenging road ahead. We were all so moved by what Barack had to say that I knew we had to share it with all of you: https://donate.barackobama.com/match In just a few minutes, Barack expressed what this campaign is all about. He reminded us of the challenges we face -- and that our fellow Americans are counting on our success. That's a message that everyone who believes in this campaign should hear. And now that we have declared our independence from a broken campaign finance system, what Barack said about building a national movement for change is more important than ever. The consequences of allowing John McCain to continue George Bush's failed policies are too great -- we all need to take action now. Watch this video and join more than 1.5 million donors who own a piece of this campaign by making your first donation. If you give right now, your gift will be matched by a previous donor, doubling your impact. You can even choose to exchange a note with a fellow supporter about Barack's speech and why you are supporting this campaign. Watch this video and make a matching donation of $25 now: https://donate.barackobama.com/match The stakes in this election couldn't be higher. Help build this movement by supporting our campaign today. Thanks for everything you do, Steve Steve Hildebrand | |

Attorney General McCollum Launches 23rd National Crime Prevention Conference
Annual conference provides strategies, tools to prevent crime in local
communities
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum today addressed
the attendees of the 23rd Annual Conference on Preventing Crime in the
Black Community at the conference’s opening session in Tampa. The
conference, established by the Florida Attorney General’s Office in 1985
and co-hosted with the Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker’s Office, is
a cooperative effort to encourage communication and action within local
communities by showcasing innovative ideas and successful prevention
strategies that focus on crime issues in African-American neighborhoods.
“One of the most effective weapons against crime in our communities is the
community itself,” said Attorney General McCollum. “When neighbors unite
against criminals and work with our law enforcement agencies to fight back,
the criminals don’t stand a chance, and I’m proud to showcase so many
successful efforts at this year’s conference.”
In its 23rd year, the National Conference on Preventing Crime in the Black
Community attracts law enforcement officers from throughout Florida and the
country. Other invitees include county commissioners, mayors, victim
advocates, community members, church groups and more than 500 teenagers.
Participants from over 25 states and the District of Columbia, as well as
representatives from several nations, will come together to address the
concerns of crime in minority communities. The 2007 conference attracted
over 2,500 participants.
"This conference exists to offer support for those who want our communities
to foster inspiration and nurture achievement, rather than serve as a haven
for crime and anguish," said Attorney General Baker. "I believe that this
year's conference is yet another step forward in our effort to reduce crime
rates in communities that see crime statistics far higher than should be
expected or tolerated."
Attorney General McCollum delivered the key note address at the
conference’s opening session this morning. Remarks were also made by
Secretary Walter A. McNeil of the Florida Department of Corrections,
Secretary Robert A. Butterworth of the Florida Department of Children and
Families and a representative from the Florida Department of Education.
The conference was designed to address issues relating to the
disproportionate number of African-Americans who are under the supervision
of the criminal justice system. The agenda is designed to showcase
successful programs and promote a positive exchange of ideas on the
subject. Workshops will feature dynamic topics such as “Innovative Ways to
Fight Crime in the Black Community,” “Gangs: Identification, Intervention
and Transition of Former Members,” and “Reentry and Our Communities,” as
well as Florida's restoration of civil rights initiatives, human
trafficking and conflict resolution. In addition to the adult sessions and
workshops, a full schedule of workshops has been specifically designed for
teens and their chaperones. Teens and adults will be able to participate in
an open discussion and share their experiences and insight on factors that
contribute to crime and violence.
Included in this year’s program will be the annual report from the Council
on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys, which was created in 2006 by
the Florida Legislature and was made permanent with the Governor’s signing
of legislation passed this spring. Housed in the Office of the Attorney
General, the Council studies socio-economic conditions affecting black men
and boys, including income, employment and education, and makes
recommendations to address identified areas of concern. The recently-signed
legislation will also allow the Council to develop strategic programs and
funding initiatives to improve education and mentoring opportunities for
Black youth.
This year’s conference is being held in Tampa at the Marriott Waterside
Hotel and Marina and the Westin Tampa Harbour Island Hotel. Additional
information, including a full schedule of events, is available online at

Attorney General Recognized for Support of Florida Council Against Sexual Violence
Hello Everyone,
Evelyn here,
with a news release from the Media Office of the Attorney General Bill McCollum on . . .
------------------------
Attorney General Recognized for Support of Florida Council Against Sexual
Violence
TALLAHASSEE, FL – The Florida Council Against Sexual Violence (FCASV)
recognized Attorney General Bill McCollum today for his support of the
Council’s mission, specifically for advocating legislation last year which
brought Florida into compliance with the 2005 Violence Against Women Act.
The Attorney General was presented with the Elizabeth Knake Outstanding
Victim Advocate Award. Elizabeth Knake was one of the founders of FCASV in
1986.
“Victims of crime deserve the full support of our state and every available
resource to help them recover, and I’m honored to have been part of this
effort,” said Attorney General McCollum. “One of the most important charges
of my office is ensuring that crime victims have the assistance they need
to heal.”
“General McCollum has inspired us with his passionate advocacy on behalf of
exploited children, victims of sexual assault and all victims of crime.”
said Jennifer Dritt, Executive Director of the Florida Council Against
Sexual Violence.
The Federal Violence Against Women Act required states to allow victims of
sexual violence to obtain a forensic sexual assault exam and have the cost
of the exam billed to the Victims Compensation Program without requiring
the victim to report the assault to law enforcement.
Florida’s legislation, which passed last year as HB 989, allows a victim
advocate to bepresent – at the victim’s request – during a forensic
medical exam. Additionally, it requires the court to order specified
defendants to undergo a HIV test within 48 hours after the victim requests
such testing. The legislation also raises the amount paid by the Attorney
General's Crime Victims Compensation Fund for the forensic exam from $250
to $500.
Attorney General McCollum worked with bill sponsors Senator Mike Fasano
(R-New Port Richey) and Representative William Snyder (R-Stuart) to add
language to the legislation which allows Floridians who are victimized by a
violent crime while traveling abroad to be eligible for compensation under
the Attorney General's Crime Victims Compensation Fund. This benefit is
essential for those who are unable to obtain appropriate medical and other
emergency services while overseas.
The Attorney General was also recognized for supporting a $400,000
allocation from the Victims Compensation Trust Fund to the Council. The
funds will be distributed to certified rape crisis centers and will help
fund services provided to sexual assault victims. Without the funding,
services at some of the centers would have been severely impacted.
Additional legislation developed in part by the Attorney General, which was
signed into law this week by the Governor, allows Florida victims of child
pornography the opportunity to be heard in court and to be compensated for
the crimes committed against them by the continued distribution of images
of their sexual abuse. While victims have those rights in federal court,
there is no similar law in any other state. The Council noted that through
his work to protect exploited children and to ensure that perpetrators of
child pornography are vigorously prosecuted, the Attorney General has made
significant progress toward protecting the innocent children of Florida.

The Marijuana Grow House Eradication Act goes into effect on July 1, 2008.
Hello Everyone,

McCollum: Landmark Bill Targeting Marijuana Grow Houses Becomes Law
New law tackles for-profit growers, aids law enforcement
TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced that the
Marijuana Grow House Eradication Act has been signed into law, giving
Florida’s prosecutors and law enforcement essential tools to combat
for-profit growers of marijuana. The new law, sponsored by Senator Steve
Oelrich (R-Gainesville) and Representative Nick Thompson (R-Ft. Myers),
passed as House Bill 173 during the 2008 Legislative Session and was signed
into law by Governor Charlie Crist today. The bill was developed because of
the increasing number of grow houses operating in the state and violent
crime which tend to be associated with these operations.
“Grow houses are not only furthering this dangerous drug trade within our
state, they are bringing violent crime into our neighborhoods,” said
Attorney General McCollum. “This new law will help protect our families and
communities.”
The new law makes it a second-degree felony to grow 25 or more plants,
targeting for-profit growers who exploit Florida’s previous threshold of
300 plants. The law will also make it a third-degree felony to own a house
for the purpose of cultivating, packaging and distributing marijuana and a
first-degree felony to grow 25 or more plants in a home with children
present.
“Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in America and we must
take a stand against the for-profit growers who were previously exploiting
higher thresholds,” said Sen. Oelrich. “By lowering the number of plants
necessary for criminal charges, we’ve given Florida’s authorities valuable
tools in the fight against these criminal operations.”
"Grow houses have become a very real threat to the safety and security in
too many Florida communities," said Representative Thompson. "Floridians
who use grow houses to traffic drugs belong in prison. This law sends the
message loud and clear that if you grow, you go. I am grateful to Attorney
General Bill McCollum for his support and Governor Crist for signing this
bill into law."
Recent statistics reveal the alarming increase in the number of grow houses
being maintained in Florida as well as the ever-developing levels of
sophistication of grow house operations. Marijuana grow houses primarily
specializing in hydroponic marijuana have been detected in more than 40 of
Florida’s 67 counties and within the past few months, cooperative efforts
by law enforcement statewide have taken down more than 140 houses and
seized more than $41.6 million worth of marijuana. Another recent case out
of Palm Beach County brought charges against 29 people who were part of a
drug trafficking ring which operated and maintained 25 marijuana grow
houses throughout Palm Beach County and one in Miami-Dade County.
Other important aspects of the law will provide substantial benefits to
Florida’s law enforcement community. Previously, law enforcement around the
state were required to store cumbersome grow house equipment in order to
preserve it as evidence. To address this growing storage burden, the new
law allows a photograph or video recording of equipment used in the
cultivation of a marijuana plant to be considered as evidence in the
prosecution of the crime. The law will also allow law enforcement to
destroy grow house equipment upon the completion of all investigations and
provides immunity from any civil liability to law enforcement for the
destruction of the grow house equipment
The Marijuana Grow House Eradication Act goes into effect on July 1, 2008.

McCollum: Landmark Bill Targeting Marijuana Grow Houses Becomes Law
New law tackles for-profit growers, aids law enforcement
TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced that the
Marijuana Grow House Eradication Act has been signed into law, giving
Florida’s prosecutors and law enforcement essential tools to combat
for-profit growers of marijuana. The new law, sponsored by Senator Steve
Oelrich (R-Gainesville) and Representative Nick Thompson (R-Ft. Myers),
passed as House Bill 173 during the 2008 Legislative Session and was signed
into law by Governor Charlie Crist today. The bill was developed because of
the increasing number of grow houses operating in the state and violent
crime which tend to be associated with these operations.
“Grow houses are not only furthering this dangerous drug trade within our
state, they are bringing violent crime into our neighborhoods,” said
Attorney General McCollum. “This new law will help protect our families and
communities.”
The new law makes it a second-degree felony to grow 25 or more plants,
targeting for-profit growers who exploit Florida’s previous threshold of
300 plants. The law will also make it a third-degree felony to own a house
for the purpose of cultivating, packaging and distributing marijuana and a
first-degree felony to grow 25 or more plants in a home with children
present.
“Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in America and we must
take a stand against the for-profit growers who were previously exploiting
higher thresholds,” said Sen. Oelrich. “By lowering the number of plants
necessary for criminal charges, we’ve given Florida’s authorities valuable
tools in the fight against these criminal operations.”
"Grow houses have become a very real threat to the safety and security in
too many Florida communities," said Representative Thompson. "Floridians
who use grow houses to traffic drugs belong in prison. This law sends the
message loud and clear that if you grow, you go. I am grateful to Attorney
General Bill McCollum for his support and Governor Crist for signing this
bill into law."
Recent statistics reveal the alarming increase in the number of grow houses
being maintained in Florida as well as the ever-developing levels of
sophistication of grow house operations. Marijuana grow houses primarily
specializing in hydroponic marijuana have been detected in more than 40 of
Florida’s 67 counties and within the past few months, cooperative efforts
by law enforcement statewide have taken down more than 140 houses and
seized more than $41.6 million worth of marijuana. Another recent case out
of Palm Beach County brought charges against 29 people who were part of a
drug trafficking ring which operated and maintained 25 marijuana grow
houses throughout Palm Beach County and one in Miami-Dade County.
Other important aspects of the law will provide substantial benefits to
Florida’s law enforcement community. Previously, law enforcement around the
state were required to store cumbersome grow house equipment in order to
preserve it as evidence. To address this growing storage burden, the new
law allows a photograph or video recording of equipment used in the
cultivation of a marijuana plant to be considered as evidence in the
prosecution of the crime. The law will also allow law enforcement to
destroy grow house equipment upon the completion of all investigations and
provides immunity from any civil liability to law enforcement for the
destruction of the grow house equipment
The Marijuana Grow House Eradication Act goes into effect on July 1, 2008.

Video: Important announcement from Barack
Hello Everyone,
Evelyn here,

Evelyn here,

Video: Important announcement from Barack
Evelyn --
I want to add a little context to the video message you received earlier announcing that we will not participate in the public financing system for the general election. Even though we stood to receive more than $80 million in taxpayer funding for our campaign, the system has been so gamed and exploited by our opponents that it is effectively broken. John McCain, the Republican National Committee, and their allies in so-called 527 groups that raise and spend unlimited contributions are dedicated to manipulating this broken system to raise as much money as possible -- and they've proven that they're very good at it. A top McCain adviser told MSNBC earlier this month, "now that we're in the general election, the RNC money counts, the DNC money counts. So the truth is today, John McCain has more cash on hand and more money than Barack Obama does." In April alone, they raised nearly $45 million. That's more than our campaign and the Democratic National Committee combined. And that doesn't include the plans of 527 groups like the one called "Freedom's Watch," which has said it will spend as much as $250 million under Karl Rove's direction to attack and defeat Barack Obama. To compete, Barack has put his faith in ordinary people giving only what they can afford. That's been the strategy of this campaign from the beginning, and more than 1,500,000 supporters like you have gotten us this far. We have a historic opportunity to prove that a movement of ordinary people has the power to change the way political campaigns are funded. And we have a clear goal as we begin this new challenge: 50,000 people declaring their independence by making a donation before July 4th. You can help take on John McCain and the RNC by making your first donation today. A previous donor is standing by to match your gift and double your impact. You can even exchange a personal note with them about why you've chosen to support Barack. Declare your independence from our broken system. Make a matching donation today: https://donate.barackobama.com/match Opting out of public matching funds was an extremely difficult decision, and frankly we are at a disadvantage when it comes to raising money. Unlike John McCain, this campaign has never accepted donations from Washington lobbyists or special interest PACs. While McCain has built his fundraising strategy around high-dollar donors giving huge checks to the RNC, you are creating a new model for publicly financed campaigns. Thank you for your support and for taking on the masters of a broken system, David David Plouffe
-----Original message----- Evelyn -- Barack Obama recorded a video message with an important announcement that he wanted you to hear first: https://donate.barackobama.com/bignews We have made a crucial decision that will impact how we compete in the general election, and it's important that you understand the decision, its implications, and the challenge ahead. Please take a moment to watch the video. Thank you, Obama for America | |

I’m Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum.
This week, I announced the winners of my CyberSafety Challenge, issued to
encourage Florida’s principals to sign their schools up for my CyberSafety
presentations.
Taylor County was the first to register all of its schools and Miami-Dade
County registered more schools than any other district during the
2007-2008 school year. Overall, more than 300 schools and 132,000 students
received the life-saving presentation about internet safety.
Next year, we’re enlisting Florida’s school resource officers to help
bring this program to all of Florida’s middle and high schools. I believe
every student should learn about and practice safe internet use.
I’m Bill McCollum and this has been a CyberSafety update.

VOTING RIGHTS AND THE USE OF FREE WILL
Hello Everyone,
Evelyn here,
As I listened to WUSF/NPR radio on Friday on morning June 06, 2008, I heard a portion of Hillary Rodham Clinton final campaign speech since losing the democratic the nomination for president of the United States to Barack Obama. In this public speech it was clear that she wanted it known that she wants her supporters to votes to matter, and that she has endorsed Obama. She also encouraged her supporters to cast their votes wisely and for the unity of the Democratic Party.
This speech, expected as it was, wasn't greatly significant. However, what struck me was a comment made by one of her support who replied that she would only vote for Obama if Hilary's thought it was the best thing to do.
Excuse me as I pause for a little emotional clarity.
This comment grated on my bones because to me exercising one right to vote is the epitome of freedom of expression under the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in 1919-20. This amendment also implies that one should exercise one free will to judge and make an intelligent decision on one own without any undue external influences or emotional promptings from this or that person and/or event.
In short, a voter, whether male or female, must look beyond the glamour, popularity, race, religion, and age of a political candidate to what is best for the party and the country. If a voter truly believes that his/her chosen candidate has the muster to fulfill his/her campaign promises and bring about changes which results in the betterment of the nation and not just one group of people, then by all means cast that intelligent vote.
What more is there to say.

Evelyn here,

----------
Evelyn -- Hillary Clinton announced her support for our campaign today. Senator Clinton made history over the past 16 months -- not just because she has broken barriers, but because she has inspired millions of Americans with her strength, her courage, and her commitment to causes like universal health care that make a difference in the lives of hardworking Americans. Our party and our country are stronger because of the work she has done throughout her life, and I'm a better candidate for having had the privilege of competing with her. Senator Clinton will be invaluable to our efforts to win in November, and I look forward to campaigning alongside her to bring this country the change it so desperately needs. Hillary and her supporters are joining us at an urgent moment. It's going to require a new level of commitment from every single one of us to build a national campaign in the general election. And we're going win this election the right way -- by growing our grassroots network of ordinary people giving only what they can afford. Will you help by making your first donation today? If you give right now, a previous donor has agreed to match your gift, doubling its impact. Help us reach our goal of 20,000 new donors by making a matching donation today: https://donate.barackobama.com/match It's time for all of us to come together to take on John McCain in the general election. John McCain offers another four years of George Bush's policies, which our country simply cannot afford. To win, we must continue building an unprecedented organization in all 50 states. And that will only happen if we all work together, side-by-side. Thank you for joining this movement and supporting a new kind of politics. Together we can do more than just win an election. Together we can change this country, and we can change the world. And we are honored to have Hillary Clinton at our side as we do it. Barack | |

Attorney General McCollum Recovers $9.8 Million for Florida from Walgreens
Settlement
TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced that
Florida will receive more than $9.8 million from a $35-million multistate
settlement with Walgreens over claims the company switched dosage forms for
several medications commonly prescribed for Medicaid recipients. The
switches allegedly caused Medicaid programs nationwide to pay substantially
more for these drugs than necessary. Florida’s civil case was handled by
the Attorney General’s Complex Civil Enforcement Bureau, which is part of
the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.
“Florida will not tolerate activities that undermine its Medicaid
program and pass increases along to our taxpayers,” said Attorney General
McCollum.
Today’s settlement is the result of a joint federal-state
investigation that was initiated by the filing of a false claims act
lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Chicago in 2003. The lawsuit alleged
Walgreens filled prescriptions for numerous Medicaid recipients by
aggressively switching dosage forms of ranitidine, the generic form of
Zantac, a commonly-prescribed anti-ulcer medication; fluoxetine, the
generic form of Prozac; and selegiline, the generic form of Eldepryl, which
used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and senile dementia. This
conduct allegedly violated various federal and state statutes and
regulations.
Government investigators contended that these improper practices
continued from July 2001 through 2005, and that the wholesale substitution
of alternate dosage forms of these drugs resulted in higher payments under
the automated Medicaid reimbursement system, with no corresponding medical
benefit to the individuals receiving the prescriptions. The settlement also
resolves allegations that Walgreens made these wholesale switches without
physician involvement and therefore violated numerous state regulations
governing pharmaceutical dispensing.
In addition to the payment of cash settlements to the state and
federal governments, Walgreens has agreed to the terms of a corporate
integrity agreement with the Office of the Inspector General of the United
States Department of Health and Human Services. The agreement will include
provisions to ensure that Walgreens does not switch dosage forms of
medications if the result would increase the costs to third-party payers,
including Medicaid, and will subject the company’s billing practices to
ongoing federal scrutiny. Of Florida’s share of the settlement, the state’s
Medicaid program will receive more than $1.8 million in recoveries; over
$1.8 million in damages will be awarded to the state’s general revenue
fund; and $100,000 will reimburse the state for the cost of its
investigation. The remaining settlement funds will be allocated to the
Federal Medicaid program.
This settlement is the third and final in a series resulting from
investigations of similar conduct by pharmacy providers nationwide.
Together, the three cases have brought back more than $120 million to
Medicaid programs around the country. The settlement was the result of
negotiations jointly conducted by the United States Attorney’s Office for
the Northern District of Illinois and the National Association of Medicaid
Fraud Control Units, with the Attorneys General of Florida, Ohio, Illinois,
Massachusetts, and Texas leading the effort for the states.
In addition to those states named above, participating states also
include Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico,
New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington,
Wisconsin, Wyoming, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
