A Lowell man was sentenced to over 10 years in prison for his role in a massive methamphetamine distribution network that sold fake Adderall pills in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Richard Nguyen, 30, was the latest associate of the Asian Boyz gang to be taken down by authorities.
Between March 2022 and January 2025, Nguyen sold counterfeit Adderall pills to undercover officers and cooperating witnesses on 47 different occasions.
Nguyen negotiated the deals using an Instagram account and sold pills to a cooperating witness on his back porch, with prices as low as $0.80 per pill.
Nguyen was arrested in January 2025 and convicted by a federal jury in November 2025 of multiple counts of distributing and possessing methamphetamine.
