Two top leaders from San Francisco digital health startup Done Global
were arrested and charged by federal authorities in connection with an alleged
$100 million fraud scheme to illegally distribute Adderall and other stimulants over the internet.
Authorities arrested Ruthia He, the company’s founder and chief executive, as well as David Brody, its clinical president,
on charges including conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, distribution of controlled substances, conspiracy to commit health care fraud, and obstruction of justice.
Their scheme allegedly helped lead to the overdose deaths of multiple Done customers.
If convicted of the two drug distribution charges, each executive faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
