Florida – The Pill Mill Capital of the US

It's no secret that South Florida has gained a reputation for being the "Pill Mill" capital of the country. Largely in part due to the efforts of Jeff and Chris George. The two twin brothers first broke into the business when their illegal steroid business got busted. They decided it was more profitable to feed the habit of junkies while enlisting the services of greedy low rent doctors to write the prescriptions. The brothers George were brazen, cocky, arrogant and in your face. Sadly, a young man died as a result of an overdose of drugs written and filled at a George clinic. This is where it all started to unravel. The boldest of the brothers, Jeff George, was the first to turn on the rest. He sold out his entire family to save his own skin. Then Jeff George went down. He kept quiet, but begged for mercy for his wife and mother who also had become involved in the criminal enterprise. In the end, the entire family, save the father, went to prison. The brothers George went down as sniveling cowards after causing so much pain, yet they had no remorse for what they had done. Once again, justice prevails.
