Philadelphia pharmacists charged in $1.4 million painkiller scheme
US authorities say two Philadelphia pharmacists Sheldon and Lawrence Durst funneled thousands of opioid and other pills to drug dealers in a $1.4 million fraud. A third pharmacist from Columbia, Ma., plus a Norristown physician and another Philadelphia pharmacist, aided by discounting pills and submitting false insurance claims, face related charges. The group allegedly sold Percocet Percodan Xanax Prozac and Ritalin, sometimes via Medicaid and private insurers, with dealers taking about a third of profits. The Dursts owned multiple Philadelphia and Montgomery County pharmacies and could face decades in prison.
