The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is warning those who take medication for ADHD, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, could face a disruption in accessing care after two executives were arrested for a $100 million fraud scheme.

The CDC issued a health advisory to inform public health officials, clinicians and patients about the potential for medication distribution to be affected.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) released information Thursday on the arrests of a California-based digital health company’s CEO and clinical president.

The duo was arrested for their alleged participation in attempting to distribute Adderall over the internet, commit health care fraud by submitting false claims for reimbursement for the drug, and obstructing justice, the DOJ’s release said.

    Why the fuck are they working SO HARD to not name the company? Found it, company is called “Done Health”

    “Ruthia He, the founder and CEO of Done Global Inc., was arrested in Los Angeles and will make her initial appearance at 1:30 p.m. PDT/4:30 p.m. EDT in Los Angeles. David Brody, the clinical president of Done Health P.C. (collectively, Done), was arrested in San Rafael, California, and will make his initial appearance at 10:30 a.m. PDT/1:30 p.m. EDT in San Francisco, California.”

      CDC released the statement on Wednesday and it looks like the AG likely made this public on Thursday, or that’s at least when arraignments were.
