The United States Pharmacopeial Convention was a scientific non-profit organization that published the United States Pharmacopeia (“USP”), the official pharmacopeia of the United States. The USP set standards for the identity, strength, quality, and purity of medicines, 18, Section 9.01(3) of Title 247 of the Code of Massachusetts Regulations required all pharmacists licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to follow the standards set forth in the USP. 19, Chapter 797 of the USP (“USP-797") set forth the standards for compounding drugs identified as sterile, All compounding personnel were responsible for understanding the fundamental practices and procedures outlined in USP-797 for developing and implementing appropriate procedures, and for continually evaluating the procedures and quality of sterile drugs. 20. USP-797's standards were meant to prevent harm, including death, to patients that could result from non-sterility of drugs. Non-sterility of purportedly sterile drugs was especially dangerous to patients when the drugs would be administered into the patients’ body cavities, central nervous systems, vascular systems, eyes, and j Page 6 Case 1:14-cr-10363-RGS *SEALED* Document1 Filed 12/16/14 Page 7 of 73 21, USP-797 defined high-risk compounding as, among other things, using non-sterile ingredients to create sterile drugs. High-risk compounding posed the greatest threat to patients because, among other things, it required compounding personnel to sterilize non-sterile ingredients. Use of Ingredients 22. USP-197 prohibited the use of an ingredient in drugs when the beyond use date (“BUD”), or expiration date, of the ingredient had been exceeded. USP-797 noted that careful consideration and evaluation of non-sterile ingredients was especially warranted when the drug ‘would be administered into the vascular system, central nervous system, or eyes of patients Sterilization 23. One way to sterilize drugs was through the use of an autoclave, which exposed the drugs to high pressure saturated steam. To achieve sterilization through autoclaving, USP-797 required that the drugs be exposed to steam at 121° under pressure of one atmosphere for a duration verified by testing; USP-797 defined this duration as usually 20 10 60 minutes. Autoclaving drugs at a lower temperature, a lower pressure, or for less time could result in the drugs not being sterile, USP-797 required verification of the effectiveness of the sterilization process for the quantity and type of containers of drugs through the use of a biological indicator. A biological indicator was a packaged resistant, spore-forming bacterium that provided a defined and stable resistance to a sterilization process. The sterilization process was validated when the packaged resistant, spore-forming bacterium within the biological indicator was destroyed, Given the critical importance of sterilization, the USP required that the description of steam sterilization conditions and durations for specific drugs be included in written documentation in the compounding facility Page 7 Case 1:14-cr-10363-RGS *SEALED* Document 1 Filed 12/16/14 Page 8 of 73 24. USP-797 mandated that all high-risk drugs prepared in groups of more than 25 individual single-dose packages or multiple-dose vials be tested for sterility consistent with the standards set forth in Chapter 71 of the USP (“USP-71"). In addition, USP-797 mandated that all high-risk drugs, regardless of the quantity, with assigned BUDs beyond 24 hours at room temperature be sterility tested. USP-71 defined sterility as the absence of the growth of microorganisms over a 14-day period. USP-71 set forth the minimum number of articles (ie., Vials, syringes, bags) from varying batch sizes that had to be sterility tested t0 meet USP requirements. 25. USP-797 allowed for the dispensing of high-risk drugs to patients prior to the receipt of sterility test results if the patient and the physician were notified of the potential risk, and an immediate recall was instituted if microbial growth was observed during the test. Any positive sterility test result should prompt a rapid and systematic investigation of aseptic technique, environmental control, and other sterility assurance controls to identify the sources of contamination and to correct problems in the methods or processes. Labeling 26. Chapter 1 of the USP (“USP-1") defined an injectable drug as a preparation intended for “parenteral administration,” meaning that the preparation was injected through the skin or other external boundary tissue, so that the active substances it contained were administered, using gravity of force, directly into a blood vessel, organ, tissue, or lesion, Drugs labeled as injectable ‘were required to be prepared scrupulously by methods designed to ensure that they met standards for sterility stated in USP-797 and USP-71 Page 8 Case 1:14-cr-10363-RGS "SEALED* Document 1 Filed 12/16/14 Page 9 of 73 27. Labels on injectable drugs were required fo state the name of the preparation, the percentage content of drug or amount of drug in a specified volume, the route of administration, a statement of storage conditions, an expiration date, the name and place of bi 38 of the manufacturer, and an identifying lot number. The identifying lot number had to be capable of yielding the complete manufacturing history of the specific drug, including all manufacturing, filling, sterilizing, and labeling operations. Cleaning and Disinfecting 28. USP-797 required scrupulous attention to cleaning and disinfecting the sterile compounding areas to minimize environmental contact as a source of microbial contamination of sterile drugs. USP-797 required all cleaning and disinfecting practices and policies to be included in written standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) and to be followed by all compounding personnel. Environmental Monitoring 29. To evaluate the cleaning and disinfecting practices at a compounding facility, USP-797 required surface and air sampling of the sterile compounding areas. USP-797 identified microbial contamination from improperly cleaned and disinfected work surfaces as a major source of contamination of sterile drugs. 30, USP-797 required « compounding facility to establish “action” levels for microbial contamination, If surface or air sampling revealed contamination above an “action” level, USP-797 required a re-evaluation of the compounding facility's practices and procedures, In addition, USP-797 required an investigation into the source of the contamination, the elimination of the source, re-cleaning and re-disinfecting of the area, and re-sampling, If the surface or air sampling consistently revealed elevated levels of microbial growth, USP-797 required the Page 9 Case 1:14-cr-10363-RGS *SEALED* Document 1 Filed 12/16/14 Page 10 of 73 compounding facility to consult with competent microbiology personnel. If the surface or air sampling revealed highly pathogenic microorganisms that could be potentially fatal to patients receiving the purportedly sterile drugs, such as mold, USP-797 required the compounding facility to immediately remedy the issue, regardless of whether an “action” level was reached, with the assistance of a competent microbiologist, infection control professional, or industrial hygienist Personnel Training and Testing 31. USP-797 required compounding personnel to be adequately skilled, educated, Instructed, and trained to properly compound sterile drugs, To ensure proper aseptic technique, compounding personnel were required to perform media-fill testing, which was a process simulation using a microbiological growth medium instead of adrug. Media-fill testing was used to validate the aseptic techniques of compounding personnel and ensure that the processes employed would produce sterile drugs without microbial contamination. Compounding personnel were required to perform media-fill testing prior to performing any sterile ‘compounding, and semiannually thereafter. 32, USP-797 required gloved-fingertip sampling of all compounding personnel to monitor any microbial contamination on the gloved-hands of compounding personnel, USP-797 identified direct touch contamination as the most likely means of introducing microorganisms into sterile drugs. If personnel gloved-fingertip sampling revealed contamination above an “action” level, USP-797 required a review of hand hygiene and garbing procedures, glove and surface disinfection procedures, and work practices. If the personnel glovedsfingertip sampling consistently revealed elevated levels of microbial growth, USP-797 required the compounding, facility to consult with competent microbiology personnel. If the personnel gloved-fingertip sampling revealed highly pathogenic microorganisms that could be potentially fatal to patients Page 10 Case 1:14-cr-10363-RGS *SEALED* Document 1 Filed 12/16/14 Page 11 of 73 receiving the sterile drugs, such as mold, USP-797 required the compounding facility to immediately remedy the issue, regardless of whether an “action” level was reached, with the assistance of competent microbiologist, infection control professional, or industrial hygienist. COUNT (18 U.S.C. § 1962(c) — Racketeering) [DEFENDANTS (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKIY, (4) LEARY, (5) EVANOSKY, (6) CONNOLLY], 33, The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 8, and 17 through 32 are re-alleged and incorporated herein by reference. The Enterprise 34. NECC and MSM constituted an “enterprise” as defined by Title 18, Unit Code, Section 1961(4) (hereinafter, “the enterprise”), that is, a group of legal entities associated in fact. The enterprise constituted an ongoing organization whose members functioned as a continuing unit for a common purpose of achieving the objectives of the enterprise, which was to obtain money and property including through the means of materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises. The enterprise was engaged in, and its activities affected, interstate and foreign commerce. Manner and Means of the Enterprise ‘MSM’s Representations to Customers 35. NECC’s primary business was high- sk compounding, that is, u 1g non-sterile ingredients to create sterile drugs. Defendant (1) CADDEN instructed the MSM sales force to falsely represent to customers that NECC was providing the highest quality compounded medications. MSM’s sales force and its marketing materials distributed to hospitals and medical facilities throughout the country falsely claimed NECC was USP-797 compliant, meaning that it Page 11 Case 1:14-cr-10363-RGS *SEALED* Document 1 Filed 12/16/14 Page 12 of 73 met the USP standards for compounding sterile drugs. MSM’s marketing materials also falsely claimed that NECC had a strictly enforced environmental monitoring program and a comprehensive end-product testing program for its drugs. Each quarter, MSM issued a Quality Assurance Report Card (“QA Report Card”) to NECC customers signed by defendant (1) CADDEN. ‘The QA Report Cards for the first and second quarters of 2012 falsely reported environmental monitoring results at NECC during the respective quarters, The QA Report Card for the second quarter of 2012 also falsely listed no sterility, endotoxin, or other out-of specification test results from the testing of NECC’s drugs during the time period. NBCC's Production Practices 36. NEC "s production of purportedly sterile drugs by the pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in Clean Rooms 1 and 2 failed to comply with the standards of the USP and the regulations promulgated by the MABOP in several ways, including: a. Beginning in at least 2008 and cor ing until in or around October 2012, defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKIY, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY used, caused others to use, and approved the use of expired and expiring ingredients in the compounding of purportedly sterile drugs in violation of USP-797. To conceal the use of the expired ingredients from regulators, defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKIY, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY completed, caused others to complete, and approved the completion of written documentation with fictitious expiration dates. b. Beginning in at least 2009 and continuing until in or around October 2012, defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKIY, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY used, caused others to use, and approved the use of expired or expiring stock solutions in the compounding of purportedly sterile drugs and to fill customer orders in violation of USP-797.. To Page 12 Case 1:14-ct-10363-RGS *SEALED* Document 1 Filed 12/16/14 Page 13 of 73 conceal the use of the expired or expiring stock solutions from regulators, defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKIY, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY labeled, caused others to label, and approved the labeling of the final drugs with a new NECC lot number and BUD. c. Beginning in at least 2009 and continuing until in or around October 2012, defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY failed and caused others to fail to properly sterilize drugs in violation of USP-797. Drugs were routinely autoclaved for a period of 15 to 17 minutes in duration, less than the 20-minute duration identified in NECC’s formulation worksheets for specific drugs and USP-797. Defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY never verified and caused others to verify the effectiveness of the sterilization process through the use of a biological indicator as required by USP-797. d, Beginning in at least 2009 and continuing until in or around October 2012, defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKIY, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY mixed, caused others to mix, and approved the mixing of stock solutions of different drug lots to fill customer orders violation of USP-797, The mixing of the lots was done to fill orders and conceal the use of an expiring older lot or the use of a newer lot that had not been tested. For stock drug products, defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKIY, and (4) LEARY falsely labeled, caused others to falsely label, and approved the false labeling of drugs sent to customers with either the newer lot number in the ease of an expiring older lot, or the older lot number in the case of an untested newer Jot. For custom drug products, defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKIY, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY labeled, caused others to label, and approved the labeling of drugs sent to customers with a new, third NECC lot number for the specific customer order, Page 13, Case 1:14-cr-10363-RGS *SEALED* Document 1 Filed 12/16/14 Page 14 of 73 ¢, Beginning in at least 2006 and continuing until in or around October 2012, defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKTY, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY failed and caused others to fail to properly test drugs for sterility in violation of USP-797. Only two samples of each batch of drugs were taken for testing regardless of the size of the batch; only one of the two samples was sent for sterility testing, Defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKIY, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY also sampled, caused others to sample, and approved the sampling from batches of stock solutions, and not the filled vials, of drugs that NECC shipped to customers for patient use. £ Beginning in at least 2008 and continuing until in or around October 2012, defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKIY, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY caused shipments to NECC customers of purportedly sterile drugs that were never tested and for which test results had not yet been received. The physicians and patients were not notified of the potential risk of using the untested drugs. In circumstances in which microbial growth was later detected in sterility tests, defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKIY, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY never instituted a recall, and never notified the physicians or patients to whom the drugs were sent of the adverse results, g. Beginning in or around March 2010 and continuing until in or around August 2012, defendant (6) CONNOLLY, who had voluntarily surrendered his pharmacy technician license in or around January 2009, worked as a pharmacy technician in Clean Room 2 filling cardioplegia drugs for hospital customers. Cardioplegia drugs were used for the intentional and temporary cessation of cardiac activity during cardiac surgery. Defendant (6) CONNOLLY’s unlicensed status was known to defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, and (3) SVIRSKIY. Defendant (6) CONNOLLY was supervised by defendants (2) CHIN and (3) SVIRSKIY. Page 14 Case 1:14-cr-10363-RGS *SEALED* Document 1 Filed 12/16/14 Page 15 of 73, Defendant (6) CONNOLLY supervised the other pharmacy technicians in Clean Room 2, To conceal his presence from regulators, defendant (6) CONNOLLY operated the equipment in Clean Room 2 using defendant (1) CADDEN’s username and password, During his time working as a pharmacy technician at NEC, defendant (6) CONNOLLY was not administered a media-fil test to verify his aseptic technique NECC’s Cleaning and Disinfecting Practices 37. NECC’s cleaning and disinfecting practices in Clean Rooms | and 2 failed to comply with the standards of USP-797 and the regulations promulgated by the MABOP in several ways, including a. Beginning in at least 2009 and continuing until in or around October 2012, defendants (1) CADDEN, (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKIY, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY failed and caused others to fail to properly clean and disinfect Clean Rooms 1 and 2 as required by USP-797. b, Defendant (2) CHIN instructed pharmacy technicians working in Clean Room 1 under his supervision to prioritize production over cleaning and disinfecting. Accordingly, cleaning and disinfecting tasks in Clean Room 1 were often either poorly completed or not completed at al ¢. Beginning in at least 2010 and continuing until in or around October 2012, defendant (2) CHIN instructed pharmacists and pharmacy technicians working in Clean Room 1 under his supervision to fraudulently complete cleaning logs at the end of the month purporting to show that NECC Clean Room 1 was properly cleaned and disinfected. 4. Beginning in at least January 2012, NECC’s surface and air sampling produced alert-level and action-level results from throughout the Clean Room I suite of rooms ~ the main Page 15 Case 1:14-cr-10363-RGS *SEALED* Document1 Filed 12/16/14 Page 16 of 73 clean room, the gown room, the crimp room, and the prep room. Moreover, beginning in at least January 2012, NECC’s personnel gloved-fingertip sampling revealed the presence of microorganisms on the hands of NECC compounding personnel, including defendants (2) CHIN, (3) SVIRSKIY, (4) LEARY, and (5) EVANOSKY, while compounding and filling drugs, including within the glove boxes in Clean Room 1.

In the e-mail, defendant (1) CADDEN wrote: Unfortunately we are a ‘pharmacy’...how can you get medication from a pharmacy without a prescription which must contain a patient name. We must connect the patients to the dosage forms at some point in the process to prove that we are not a MFG, They can follow up each month with a roster of actual patients and we can back-fill. If we just sell drugs we are a MFG. We can label with office name but process patients in our data base [sic] 93, On or about October 13, 2010, in response to an NECC customer's request to use the word “generic” on a drug label, defendant (8) STEPANETS wrote to the MSM sales representative: [Defendant (1) CADDEN] and I looked over the label...the reason is the word GENERIC is on there...this is a big red flag for manufacturing. Since we are not a manufacturer, I cannot put that on the label. We ate getting into “misbranding” and all sorts of things. So, to avoid any potential issues, we can say something like “compounded for...” 94, On or about May 2, 2011, defendant (7) CARTER sent defendant (1) CADDEN an e-mail stating that an NECC customer was providing the names of staff members for its orders, In response, defendant (1) CADDEN wrote, “I will speak to rep. ‘There are better ways to do this. ‘Same names all the time makes no sense.” 95, On or about August 9, 201 1, an MSM sales representative sent an e-mail to defendant (1) CADDEN stating, “[clurremt customer since 05° [sic] ordering $7,200 a month in Page 41 Case 1:14-cr-10363-RGS *SEALED* Document 1 Filed 12/16/14 Page 42 of 73 methylprednisolone, They refuse to provide names and have not since they began ordering with us...Is it ok to process without names?” Defendant (1) CADDEN replied, “Yes...OK.” 96.

Onorabout March 13, 2012, defendant (8) STEPANETS sent an e-mail to defendant (1) CADDEN in which she wrote, “I know that [specific NECC customers] are exempted from patient names for now.

In furtherance of the conspiracy and to effect the objects of the conspiracy, defendants (1) CADDEN and (9) GREG CONIGLIARO committed and caused to be committed the following additional acts, among others, in the District of Massachusetts and elsewhere: 104, On or about May 14, 2012, the MABOP began an investigation of NECC after learning that a sub-potent eye block was compounded by NECC and dispensed to a Massachusetts hospital for use on patients. ‘The eye block, which was an anesthetic used in eye surgeries, failed Page 46 Case 1:14-cr-10363-RGS *SEALED* Document 1 Filed 12/16/14 Page 47 of 73 to properly anesthetize the patients’ eyes, causing them to experience pain during surgery. As part of the investigation, the MABOP requested from NECC, among other things, copies of the prescriptions for the dispensed eye block. 105. On or about May 31, 2012, defendant (1) CADDEN wrote an e-mail to defendant (9) GREG CONIGLIARO informing him that the eye block was dispensed in February 2012 without any prescriptions. Defendant (9) GREG CONIGLIARO responded, “call [the Massachusetts hospital] and ask nonchalantly for a patient roster for the 170 syringes and ask where all the rest of the syringes are.” Defendant (1) CADDEN replied, “I will try but unless she is dumb she will smell a skunk...” 106. On or about June 4, 2012, defendant (1) CADDEN e-mailed defendant (9) GREG. CONIGLIARO a prescription template and a list of identified surgical patients of the Massachusetts hospital who underwent surgical procedures during a one-week period in February 2012, 107, On or about June 4, 2012, defendant (9) GREG CONIGLIARO instructed his staff to create 300 fraudulent prescriptions for the surgical patients of the Massachusetts hospital identified by defendant (1) CADDEN. 108. On or about June 14, 2012, defendant (1) CADDEN submitted NECC’s response to the MABOP, in which defendant (1) CADDEN wrote that he was including in an attachment “[t]hree hundred (300) patient-specific transcribed prescriptions #1320237 - #1320536 which are retained per [NECC’s standard operating procedure].”. The attachment contained the 300 fraudulent prescriptions made upon instructions by defendants (9) GREG CONIGLIARO and (1) CADDEN.
