When you think of the government stepping in to tighten up supply-chain safety, stories like that of convicted counterfeiter Ryan Wheele may come to mind. In 2005 and 2006, hundreds of prescriptions of Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra were filled by an Internet pharmacy and shipped to patients in vials with prescription labels. Trouble is, there was no pharmacy, there were no prescriptions, and there wasn’t even any Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra. In December 2007, Ohio resident Wheele pleaded guilty to conspiracy and trafficking in counterfeit prescription drugs.
