US investigators have arrested the founder and CEO of a telehealth company who is accused of a running a $100m (£78m) scheme to fraudulently distribute over 40m pills of Adderall and other controlled substances.

US Attorney General Merrick Garland said that Done CEO Ruthia He conspired with the company’s clinical president, David Brody, “to provide easy access to Adderall and other stimulants for no legitimate medical purpose”.

America’s top law officer said the executives had exploited telemedicine rules that were loosened during the Covid pandemic.

Done Global, a San Francisco-based start-up, became popular during the pandemic as an online way to obtain Adderall by paying a monthly subscription fee.

Ms He was arrested in Los Angeles and Dr Brody in San Rafael, California, according to officials.

    I think your problem is with coffee, not caffeine.

      I genuinely wish it was, but it’s caffeine in general. Can’t do high-caffeine coffee drinks because they’ve all got fuckin’ dairy in them, and regular hot coffee puts me to sleep.

          Maybe it’s the taurine, alpha gpc, and B vitamins that make the caffeine more effective for him

          Yes. And they give me the shits, and don’t really do much for me if I chug them. And no, it’s not a tolerance buildup thing, I can go months without caffeine, and chug 2-3 200mg energy drinks.

        Try black cold brew?

        Putting things in your coffee will send you to hell. ;)
