In LA, police caught a 71-year-old former law enforcement officer from Korea with over 40,000 fake Viagra and other ED pills in a bag where they were wrapped in tin foil. There were 29,827 fake Viagra tablets, 8,993 fake Cialis pills, and 793 counterfeit Levitra tablets. All of it valued at a price of more than $700,000. Lee told officers that he had a heart condition, and if he took all of them he would die. Obviously someone wouldn't need 40,000 fake Viagra pills for themselves, so he will probably end up going to jail for having and trying to sell counterfeit pharmaceutical products. He was charged with trafficking and was scheduled to make his appearance in court Wednesday.

  1. I would assume that they were for distribution and not consumption. After all fake Viagra would not be so beneficial. At 71, I can only imagine the type of sentence he will receive after court.
