After a nearly two-year standoff between death penalty states and the federal government, the Food and Drug Administration formally blocked shipments of thousands of illegal execution drugs on their way to Texas and Arizona.
In 2015, Texas, Arizona, and Nebraska each purchased 1,000 vials of sodium thiopental, an anesthetic now-banned in the United States from an Indian named Chris Harris.
Investigations by Buzzfeed revealed that the factory address was his apartment and office, there was no real manufacturing at either location.
He appeared to have already made $100,000 from sales of his drug. This gravy train appears to have ended now.
