Blackstone Lab's & Redcon One Owners Indicted
It appears that several prominent figures in the bodybuilding and fitness industry have been named a federal case, including Blackstone Labs’ Phillip “PJ” Braun and Redcon One’s Aaron Singerman.
The federal charges stem from supplement products that were deemed unsafe and knowingly mislabeled. The indictment goes on to say that illegal anabolic steroids were allegedly among the products being sold and distributed.

THE INDICTMENT ALSO CHARGED BLACKSTONE LABS AND VENTECH LABS, TWO FLORIDA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES IN PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA.
“THE INDICTMENT ALLEGES THAT THE DEFENDANTS SOLD HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ANABOLIC STEROIDS, NATIONWIDE AND INTERNATIONALLY, FRAUDULENTLY REPRESENTING THAT THOSE PRODUCTS AND PILLS WERE HIGH-QUALITY, LEGAL DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS. ACCORDING TO THE INDICTMENT, THE DEFENDANTS CREATED AN ILLICIT MANUFACTURING COMPANY AND ROUTED SALES OF ILLEGAL PRODUCTS THROUGH TRUSTED DISTRIBUTORS, KNOWING THAT THE PRODUCTS WERE UNSAFE OR COULD NOT LEGALLY BE SOLD TO CONSUMERS.”

The charges Aaron Singerman, PJ Braun, and the other defendants in this case include a conspiracy to defraud customers with misinformation as well as money laundering charges and conspiracy to distribute illegally anabolic steroids.
