Dr. Rahim Shafa and his office manager, Nina Shafa operated the Novel Psychopharmacology Clinic. They are both 62. And they were both indicted in an international money laundering scheme involving non-approved drugs. They have been accused of purchasing these substances from a vendor outside of the US, taking strategic measures to disguise the substances once they made it stateside. The indictment suggests they had been at it for at least 10 years. What possessed the couple to take such a risk so late into their careers? And what can doctors learn?
