Department of Justice Files Nationwide Lawsuit Against Walmart Inc. for Controlled Substances Act Violations

 

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-files-nationwide-lawsuit-against-walmart-inc-controlled-substances-act

 

I have some questions…

 

1) Does anybody get terminated, jailed, and personally held accountable or is Walmart just fined heavily?

 

2) "If Walmart is found liable for violating the CSA, it could face civil penalties of up to $67,627 for each unlawful prescription filled and $15,691 for each suspicious order not reported."

 

Where does this money go, and what is it used for?

 

Found this part in another article is interesting…

 

"In October, Walmart filed its own preemptive suit against the Justice Department, Attorney General William Barr and the Drug Enforcement Administration. In that lawsuit, Walmart said the Justice Department's investigation — launched in 2016 — had identified hundreds of doctors who wrote problematic prescriptions that Walmart's pharmacists should not have filled. But the Walmart lawsuit charged that nearly 70% of the doctors still have active registrations with the DEA."
