This is the best summary I could come up with:
The executives were charged with providing “easy access” to Adderall and other stimulant medications to treat ADHD and submitting “false and fraudulent claims for reimbursement.”
“Done Global strongly disagrees with the criminal charges filed last week against our founder, Ruthia He, and Dr. David Brody, which are based on events that principally occurred between February 2020 and January 2023,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
“Since our founding, Done Global has worked to make mental health care accessible for tens of thousands of Americans trapped in a spiraling national crisis,” a spokesperson for the company told Gizmodo.
“We will continue to support our clinicians as they exercise independent clinical judgment, practice evidence-based medicine, and provide best-in-class health care,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a statement in the immediate aftermath of the indictments last week warning that there’s an increased risk of injuries and overdoses if Done Global isn’t able to prescribe medicine.
The concern is that legitimate patients who use Done Global, which could be anywhere from 30,000 to 50,000 people in all 50 states according to the CDC, will turn to riskier ways of treating themselves, including black market or illicit drugs.
