Vegas Viagra Scam: $2M in Fake Pills

⏱ 3 min read

David Webber, 50, of Henderson, Nevada, built a nearly $2 million empire slinging fake Viagra and Cialis, according to a federal indictment unsealed today. For at least five years, since 2018, Webber allegedly imported hundreds of thousands of illicit erectile dysfunction pills from unregistered factories in India, then pushed them onto unsuspecting customers through a network of smoke shops, convenience stores, and online retailers across the Southwest. He’s set to face trial September 29th.

Webber operated under the corporate shields of Passion Plus Enterprises Inc. and Whole Science Health, using them to skirt FDA regulations. The feds say he wasn’t licensed to manufacture, wholesale, or even dispense prescription drugs, but that didn’t stop him. He allegedly disguised wire transfers to his Indian suppliers as payments for “business management consultancy services” – a thin veil for blatant drug trafficking.

The indictment details how Webber also faked ingredient lists, slapping “100% Natural” labels on pills packed with sildenafil and tadalafil, the active ingredients in Viagra and Cialis. His product line wasn’t exactly subtle: brand names included “Ride,” “Kinky Kong,” “Stif,” “TBone,” and even “Kinky Pink.” The drugs weren’t limited to Nevada; they were distributed to adult novelty stores and local retailers throughout the region.

Webber is now facing 17 federal counts, including smuggling, illegal wholesale distribution of prescription drugs, introducing misbranded drugs into commerce, and mail fraud. If convicted on all charges, the “fake Viagra kingpin” could spend years in prison and face hefty financial penalties for prioritizing profit over public health.
