U.S. seizes $18 million from owners of pharmacy tied to meningitis outbreak:
BOSTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials said on Tuesday they seized $18 million from the owners of a defunct Massachusetts compounding pharmacy tied to a national 2012 meningitis outbreak that killed at least 64 people and sickened about 750.
The funds were seized from 13 financial institutions, including from accounts held by the majority shareholders of the pharmacy, the New England Compounding Center, as well as its head pharmacist, Barry Cadden, who held a minority stake, federal prosecutors in Boston said.
Cadden and a second pharmacist were charged last month with second-degree murder for their alleged roles in the outbreak, with prosecutors contending they knowingly shipped steroids across the country that were contaminated with fungal meningitis.
The drugs were typically prescribed to patients suffering back pain.
In addition to the $1.5 million seized from Cadden, some $16.8 million in assets were seized from or frozen in accounts connected to Carla Conigliaro, the majority shareholder of the Framingham, Massachusetts-based company, and her husband, Douglas Conigliaro.
The couple were charged with transferring assets shortly after NECC surrendered its pharmacy license and filed for bankruptcy in October 2012.
The incident led to strict new U.S. regulations on compounding pharmacies, which previously had been treated with a lighter hand than registered drug manufacturers.

MORE: Bay County Sheriff’s Office Warns About Anabolic Steroids Contaminated with Fungus
The Bay County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) has suggested that possible contamination at an underground laboratory (UGL) that manufactured anabolic steroids could lead to fungal meningitis. After a six-month investigation, the BCSO recently arrested three individuals who operating the UGL known as Spartan Laboratories. As is usually the case with anabolic steroid UGLs, the products are not manufactured in sterile conditions.
According to BCSO Captain Chris Bell, the Spartan Lab steroids were manufactured in the kitchen and bedroom(s) of two residences.
“None of it’s done in any kind of sterile environment… it’s done with very little science involved,” said Bell. “It is being manufactured in a kitchen, in a house, in a bedroom somewhere… then sold to people to inject to try to get bigger and stronger.”
BCSO obtained search warrants to raid the two residences after reportedly learning of bodybuilders who injected Spartan Lab products and developed unspecified health problems.
“The potential to spread fungus and the bacteria was our main concern in this case… that people would be injecting this stuff and in a short window of time be dead,” said Bell.
While the risks associated with contaminated anabolic steroids are of legitimate concern, there has been no evidence to suggest that intramuscularly-administered anabolic steroids could lead to fungal meningitis.
BCSO warning is an overreaction to the nationwide fungal meningitis outbreak that claimed the lives of over thirty-six individuals. That outbreak has been linked to contaminated epidural injections of methylprednisolone acetate. The contaminated products were manufactured by the New England Compounding Center (NECC).
Methylprednisolone acetate is a synthetic corticosteroid and NOT an anabolic steroid.
The delivery method for this type of injection is entirely different than that of injectable steroids.
The methylprednisolone acetate solution was injected directly into the central nervous system (i.e. epidural injection).
Anabolic steroids are injected intramuscularly.
The risk of fungal meningitis is rare. It can occur when a contaminated solution is injected directly into the central nervous system. But not when injected intramuscularly.

i was gonna say the same thing! My wife was on estrogen for the fertility treatments when all this happened and her estrogen came from a compounding company and it scared the shit out of us until we found out it was a different compounding company thankfully, but her vials were the cheesiest looking things i ever seen, they had normal return address labels on them like any numb nuts would use making gear in his basement, i literally could not believe the poor quality in labeling they used,

Obviously these guys didn't filter their gear.

We had some issues with that here in Cali about 10 years ago. People went in for cortisone injections for their back and died from tainted cortisone. Entire blame was placed on the pharmacist who committed suicide shorty afterward.

That would definitely be a sucky way to go.
