Thomas Mollick, Kickback Scheme, Florida 2024

Tampa, Florida – In a shocking turn of events, two business executives have been charged with orchestrating a massive kickback scheme in Florida.

According to a recent indictment, Thomas Mollick (79, Odessa) and Martin Krytus (55, Windemere) are accused of conspiring to solicit and receive kickbacks and bribes from a wholesale drug supplier, Business #1.

The indictment alleges that between January 2012 and March 2017, Mollick, who co-founded and served as President of RX Development (“RXD”), selected the company’s wholesale drug supplier and solicited kickback payments to Mollick Enterprises, Inc. (“MEI”). Krytus, who co-founded and served as Vice President of RXD, received a portion of these kickback payments made by Business #1 to MEI.

If convicted on all counts, Mollick and Krytus each face a maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison. The indictment also notifies Mollick and Krytus that the United States intends to forfeit any assets, which are alleged to be traceable to proceeds of the offense.

An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.

This case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Labor - Office of Inspector General, the U.S. Postal Service - Office of Inspector General, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Greg Pizzo and Rachelle DesVaux Bedke.

The indictment brings to light a complex web of deceit and corruption that spanned several years and involved multiple individuals and organizations. As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen what other revelations will come to light.
