Top Foods Pharmacist pleads guilty in prescription scam
Milton W. Cheung, 55, of Lynnwood has entered a guilty to plea to two felonies, acquiring controlled substances by deception and misbranding drugs reports The Seattle Times.
Cheung was the pharmacy manager at Top Food and Drug pharmacy in Edmonds, Washington and we reported his arrest in September of this year. He is accused of credit card fraud, and selling expired and second hand medications.
It is not known whether anyone suffered health problems due to taking the expired medications. The main concern was for antibiotics and some biologicals.

Most prescription drugs are considered far before their true inactive date. I believe drugs below degraded to 90% of the original activity is considered truly expired. (these drugs are often sent to 3rd world countries for a fraction of the cost). Nonetheless, what this pharmacist was wrong.
