Adam Brosius, part-owner of Safe Chain Solutions LLC and Worldwide Pharma Sales Group Inc., pled guilty in federal court Friday to charges of wire fraud related to his role in a $60 million nationwide scheme involving the illegal distribution of misbranded and adulterated HIV drugs.

Brosius, along with co-conspirators Charles Boyd and Patrick Boyd, illegally acquired HIV medication diverted from the legitimate distribution chain and resold the drugs at significant discounts, falsifying documentation in the process. The drugs were then distributed to unsuspecting patients, who received potentially dangerous medications.

According to prosecutors, the trio purchased bottles of supposed prescription HIV drugs from street-level vendors, repackaged and relabeled them, and sold them to Safe Chain. Some bottles contained entirely different substances, including one that was an anti-psychotic drug that caused a patient to lose consciousness for 24 hours.

Despite multiple warnings from Safe Chain compliance officers about the difficulty in verifying the drugs' origin, Brosius and his co-conspirators continued to operate the scheme. Brosius, who resides in Delray Beach, Florida, faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and is scheduled for sentencing on August 28 in Fort Lauderdale.

Patrick and Charles Boyd will stand trial in August.

The case is being prosecuted by Alexander Thor Pogozelski and Jorge Roberto Delgado of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida, and Jacqueline Zee DerOvanesian and Timothy J. Coley of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, Fraud Section.

Brosius is represented by Stephen Thomas Millan.
