FEDERAL CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST COMPANY SELLING COVID-19 PILLS

According to a press release issued today by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Georgia, (my old office when I was a federal prosecutor), federal charges have been brought against Matthew Ryncarz doing business as Pharm Origins for allegedly selling pills online with false claims that they can reduce your chances of catching Covid-19 by up to 50 per cent.

The government contends that Ryncarz's company has engaged in fraudulent practices which violate the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, (FDCA).

Of course, every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty by the government beyond a reasonable doubt.
