A New York City man has been charged with conspiracy to traffic in and distribute and mislabeled anabolic steroids, and trafficking in counterfeit pills and counterfeit medication, authorities said today.
In the case, Robert K. Sealy was charged with conspiracy to traffic in and distribute a controlled substance and mislabeling a controlled drug, along with a conspiracy to traffic in and mislabeled counterfeit drugs, according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security.
Kane County District Attorney James W. Allen told police that on September 4, 2019, Sealy, who is not a suspect, was arrested and charged with three counts of possession of controlled substances, one count of trafficking in counterfeit controlled substances, and trafficking in counterfeit medication.
He is scheduled to appear in Rockville, Md., in the Northern District of Florida on October 2. His attorney, Brian R. McKeever, said in a statement, "This case is being prosecuted by the Department of Homeland Security."
The U. S. attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, David D. Browning, told the news conference that the case was being prosecuted "in the hope that a judge or jury will be able to determine the facts."
The case was the first in a series of drug-related charges stemming from a conspiracy to traffic in and distribute controlled substances.
During the course of the investigation, authorities said, they discovered counterfeit medications, which were being sold at the convenience of people living in the area. The counterfeit drugs included:
The drugs were also being distributed through the Internet, which Sealy says he did not know about until it was his turn.
The counterfeit medications were distributed via e-commerce websites like eBay and Amazon.
In an effort to track down the defendant, investigators also found fake pills and the drugs they had purchased.
The counterfeit drugs were being distributed through e-commerce websites and an Internet-based e-mail account.
The drugs were distributed through e-commerce websites like eBay, Amazon, and Google. The e-mail accounts were also accessed through the Web.
The charges were submitted in court and serendipitously unsealed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
According to court records, in September 2019, Sealy, who is not a suspect, was charged with three counts of possession of controlled substances, one count of trafficking in counterfeit controlled substances, and trafficking in counterfeit medication.
The case was scheduled for trial in the Northern District of Florida on October 2.
The case was the third drug-related charge to be unsealed in the United States. In April 2019, the U. Attorney's Office in Philadelphia was assigned to the case.
