Russian Cops Crash Pill Pusher Party
Summary: Several busloads of masked Russian drug enforcement officers raided the Rx-Promotion Gold Party at Moscow's Golden Palace, an event for top affiliates of an online pharmacy program that sells controlled substances like Oxycodone and Valium without prescriptions. Krebs reports that leaked ChronoPay documents and emails indicate the payment processor's founder Pavel Vrublevsky co-owned Rx-Promotion, which in 2010 alone sold tens of millions of dollars of generic prescription drugs, mostly to Americans.
Why it matters: A single illicit pharmacy program moved tens of millions of dollars in a year, including millions of controlled pills with street resale value, through the credit card processing of a company run by the man alleged to co-own it.
