Federal prosecutors this week charged a Southern California doctor with selling coronavirus treatments online — including a drug repeatedly promoted by President Donald Trump — as a “100%” cure, officials said.
Skinny Beach Med Spa, which offered a range of beauty-related services such as Botox, hair removal and fat transfer, started advertising the packs in late March, prosecutors said. An investigation was opened after FBI agents received a tip. Staley, according to prosecutors, said that both drugs would totally cure COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, and that taking it before getting sick would make one immune for at least six weeks.
Patrick Griffin, Staley’s lawyer, said Friday night that his client was following the example of the executive branch of government, which he said was now unfairly prosecuting him. Griffin said that his client truly believed he was helping people during a crisis, adding that the treatment packs were sold at a fair market price. In an email, Griffin said Staley even gave the undercover agent “two for free. The opposite of scamming someone.”“The proper forum for this conduct is really more of a state regulatory agency instead of a federal criminal courtroom,” he said.
I hope they lock him up forever!!
