Two charged with selling Viagra over Internet as “Boom!”
New York – Federal authorities Tuesday arrested two men on charges that they used interstate wires to market and sell, in the US and abroad, the active ingredient in the prescription drug Viagra by falsely labeling it as a purely herbal supplement they called “BOOM!”
Tibor Liska, 47, of Ocean, New Jersey, and Blake Bohinc, 50, of Holmdel, New Jersey, were charged with advertising and selling the product that they claimed to be a purely herbal supplement for the enhancement of sexual performance. It was sold in individual packets containing chocolate-flavored powder.
The men are charged with importing sildenafil citrate, the active ingredient in Viagra, into the United States from China, and then used two companies in the New Paltz, NY area to mix the drug with chocolate powder and other ingredients and package the product.
Liska and Bohinc are each charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. If convicted, they each face up to 20 years in federal prison plus fines of $250,000.
