Boris Arencibia, a Miami music promoter, and associate Jose Rivera have pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges involving trafficking in adulterated medications and money laundering. They were accused of distributing medications, including psychiatric and cancer drugs, using forged documents to disguise their origins. Their operation allegedly spanned years and involved a Texas distributor called Eclipse Meds, which supplied drugs to pharmacies. They face three to five years in prison and a substantial financial penalty aimed at compensating federal losses from their fraudulent activities.
Arencibia and Rivera owned part of a Texas wholesale distributor, Eclipse Meds, LLC. They bought pharmaceutical drugs and forged documents to hide the illegitimacy.
Their plea agreements in the first scheme require them to pay $21 million to the federal government for its losses, with Arencibia facing an additional $7 million in forfeiture.
