Federal drug agents in Orlando spent the summer buying painkillers, sedatives and other drugs from the underground — and now defunct — website Silk Road.
It was on the virtual drug marketplace, authorities said, that a Delaware physician sold hundreds of prescription drugs illegally and shipped them to Central Florida, throughout the U.S. and to people in more than 15 other countries.
On Thursday, agents arrested the doctor, 32-year-old Olivia Bolles, near her home, and prosecutors in Orlando unsealed a 54-page criminal complaint detailing the allegations against her.
Bolles' case is the first of its kind in Central Florida involving Silk Road, a website for global drug dealers and users who could sell and buy anything from cocaine to methamphetamine anonymously.
"Dr. Bolles was a respectable doctor by day and a drug trafficker by night when she went incognito on the underground website Silk Road to illegally sell highly abused pharmaceutical medications," said Special Agent in Charge Mark R. Trouville of the DEA's Miami division.
The arrest comes one month after federal agents shut down Silk Road and charged its founder, a 29-year-old former physics student from San Francisco, with building a drug empire with an estimated $1.2 billion in sales.
Orlando-based agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said Bolles, who was a pharmacy technician before earning her medical degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia, operated on Silk Road under the name "MDPro," according to the criminal complaint. Bolles is not licensed to dispense controlled substances such as painkillers.
Federal documents show agents found more than 600 drug sales between MDPro and Silk Road users.
"Dr. Bolles' greed became a concern for public safety, and now she will face the consequences of her actions," Trouville said.
