UPS pays up for illicit pill shipments

UPI.com
United Parcel Service agreed to give up $40 million in payments it charged for shipping products from what federal prosecutors called illicit online pharmacies. The forfeiture was announced Friday in a written statement by the U.S. attorney's office in San Francisco and covers payments charged by UPS from 2003-2010 for the delivery of pharmaceuticals that were either counterfeit or had been sold without the necessary prescription.
