A Brooklyn doctor was strong-armed by a couple of wiseguys into writing prescriptions for more than 230,000 Oxycodone pills that were then trafficked by members of the Lucchese crime family, according to the Brooklyn US Attorney’s office. Anthony Grado, 54, a solider for the family, was recorded telling the hapless doctor that he would feed him “to the [expletive] lions†if he wrote prescriptions without the mob’s permission, US Attorney Richard Donoghue’s office said Thursday. Grado, Lawrence Tranese, 55, a mob associate, and others used both such threats and actual violence to have the doctor write the bogus scripts — and at one point the doctor was stabbed by a Lucchese associate on Grado’s orders, according to officials. Grado and Tranese — who both pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiracy to distribute Oxycodone in Brooklyn federal court — along with other gangsters filled the prescriptions themselves and hawked the pills, the US Attorney’s office said. Grado was also recorded saying that if the doctor’s newly ordered prescription pads “go in anybody’s hands†besides his, “I’ll put a bullet right in your head.†“Lucchese family member Grado imperiled our community, threatening a doctor to force him to write prescriptions for oxycodone and then trafficking in the addictive drugs,†stated Donoghue. “Violent threats to a doctor by Mafia defendants, combined with their trafficking of oxycodone pills, posed an especially serious danger to our community.†“Organized crime groups and other criminal entities are seizing on the outbreak of addiction plaguing our country to make money,†stated FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Sweeney. “It shouldn’t be a shock that members of the Lucchese crime family used violence to force a member of the medical community to further their criminal enterprise.†The defendants face up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million when sentenced.

This is too risky You will make the money
You are dealing with a very low element You are dealing with ALOT of desperate people You have the DEA, FBI, FDA, Local LE, Pharmacy other doctors, Junkies, Junkies families You have people getting the scripts that you are paying The doctors office staff You have ton of C.I. that got caught and telling LE what they know and heard
The above is a lot of people that could turn you in. Now almost 100% you will get caught
And now if someone dies they will try to charge you with murder
Not the right time to be involved with this
7-8 years ago you made millions and had a real chance to get away with it all.
Good luck at sentencing With the current opoid crisis
Stick to The TREES
