Pharmacy Marketer Accused of Taking Kickbacks in Criminal Trial

A marketer for two related Fort Worth pharmacies made “millions a month” by steering doctors to send expensive, and often fraudulent, prescriptions to those pharmacies, a co-owner of the pharmacies testified Wednesday.

The testimony by Scott Schuster, before a jury in the court of Dallas U.S. District Judge Karen Gren Scholer, came in the criminal trial of the marketer, Quintan Cockerell. Cockerell is accused of taking kickbacks to induce physicians to do business with Schuster’s two pharmacies, Rxpress Pharmacy and Xpress Compounding.
