Michael Kiszka, Oxycodone Conspiracy, New Jersey 2025
Grimy Times has learned that two New Jersey men, Michael Kiszka and Gregory Kubina, are facing serious charges related to an oxycodone conspiracy.
According to a complaint filed in federal court, Kiszka and Kubina engaged in a scheme to obtain high-dosage oxycodone pills from several doctors located in New Jersey and sell those pills to street-level drug users.
The defendants, both residents of Morris and Ocean counties respectively, allegedly obtained oxycodone pills directly from certain doctors and purchased oxycodone pills that Kubina obtained from other doctors.
Beginning around April 2024, Kiszka and Kubina were responsible for diverting over 10,000 oxycodone pills to street-level drug users, authorities said.
On September 11, 2025, Kiszka, 60, and Kubina, 50, made their initial appearance in federal court before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jessica S. Allen. The defendants were released on a $100,000 unsecured bond.
Acting U.S. Attorney and Special Attorney Alina Habba credited special agents, task force officers, and diversion investigators with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Cheryl Ortiz in Newark, New Jersey, with the investigation.
If convicted, each defendant faces a statutory maximum sentence of twenty years in prison and a $1 million fine.
The charges and allegations contained in the complaint are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kruti D. Dharia and Jake A. Nasar of the Office’s Health Care Fraud and Opioids Abuse Prevention Unit.
Defense counsel for the defendants includes Kevin G. Roe, Esq. (Michael Kiszka) and Claressa Lowe, Esq., Assistant Federal Public Defender (Gregory Kubina).
