Miami doctor found guilty of prescribing millions of Oxycodone pills sold on streets
Briefly

Dr. Daniel Alberto Carpman, a Florida physician, was found guilty of conspiracy to distribute Oxycodone pills illegally after a two-week trial. Prosecutors depicted him as a drug dealer masquerading in a lab coat, alleging he prescribed excessive amounts of the drug to patients, who then sold it on the black market. Despite his defense team claiming he had been manipulated by others, the jury took only four hours to reach a verdict. Carpman now faces up to 20 years in prison following his conviction for distributing over 2 million pills between 2018 and 2023 and several other charges.
Prosecutors accused Dr. Daniel Alberto Carpman of 'masquerading in a lab coat as a drug dealer' who made millions off prescribing mind-boggling numbers of Oxycodone pills.
After a two-week trial, it took only four hours for the jury to conclude that Carpman was guilty of conspiring to distribute over 2 million Oxycodone pills.
Carpman was ordered to the Federal Detention Center due to being a flight risk based on family ties in Argentina, facing up to 20 years in prison.
Federal authorities targeted Carpman for writing thousands of unnecessary Oxycodone prescriptions for elderly patients, who then sold the pills to a local drug ring.
