Mr. Thorkelson didn't respond to questions about his company or the fake Avastin. His attorney, Troy Harwood-Jones, legal counsel for Canada Drugs, said CanadaDrugs.com is separate from companies that the FDA said handled the counterfeit Avastin. The records show Mr. Thorkelson's company also does business as Clinical Care, Quality Specialty Products and Bridgewater Medical, which are other distributors identified by the FDA in the Avastin case. http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303879604577410430607090226

In fact, it is difficult to trace with any certainty the ‘overall path’ taken by the counterfeit medicines as the counterfeit Avastin then went back and forth between Turkey and Egypt, before the products were sold to a Swiss wholesaler (Hadicon AG) then a Danish one (CareMed ApS).

The problem showed up more clearly when a British wholesaler, Richard’s Pharma Ltd, bought 120 packs of counterfeit Avastin from a Turkish wholesaler and exported 38 of them to the United States. .167 The medicines were then bought by American doctors through a company belonging to Thomas Haughton called Montana Healthcare Solutions. Finally, it should be explained that Haughton's brother-in-law, Kris Thorkelson, a pharmacist based in Winnipeg in Canada, distributed medicines by Internet to American consumers on the website Canadrugs.com and was investigated even though it did not sell Avastin. http://www.iracm.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Rapport-Etude_IRACM_Cont...

After this initial ‘Jordanian-Chinese’, Palestinian and Egyptian stage, the criminal network then turned towards Syria to run its illegal activities more efficiently. In Damascus, activities in counterfeit medicines for the Middle East were developed with Abu Afifeh as leader, originally based in Jordan. The manufacturing equipment was imported from China and Austria. But the Syrian authorities identified distribution hubs in Aleppo, Idlib, Hims and Hamas. http://www.iracm.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Rapport-Etude_IRACM_Cont...

The network then extended into the Palestinian territories and afterwards into Egypt. In March 2008, a large number of counterfeit medicines (treating leukaemia for instance) were discovered at the main Palestinian medicines distributor, Al Thulathia. http://www.iracm.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Rapport-Etude_IRACM_Cont...

A Jordanian, Wajee Abu Odeh, claims to be a central operator in the counterfeiting networks in the Middle East and went as far as setting up his own company, Sky Park Co.
