'Cream' of the flop--Look at the themes that keep appearing in the compounding world

Here is a quote from the article:

As for the BALCO investigation, state officials had no inkling of Werre's involvement, specifically his admission to federal agents that he'd mixed the designer steroid. "If he's doing something illegal dealing with drugs, we'd look into that," said Allison Benz, the state pharmacy board's director of professional services.

It was the lure of money that drove Werre to the pharmacy business. Robert Werre, Miles' father, says his son worked as a personal trainer at a fitness club in Houston after high school, eventually quitting "because it wasn't financially [rewarding]."
These days, Werre appears to live a comfortable lifestyle in his gig as a pharmacy technician, a job state officials say typically pays about $15 an hour. He has a first-floor unit in what's billed as a luxury apartment complex, a gated and meticulously landscaped community where rents range from $730 to $1,375 a month.
He drives a fully loaded, white 2002 Cadillac Escalade with tinted windows and video monitors in the dashboard and headrests. On a recent day, a copy of a book titled "The Ultimate Anti-Aging Program" rested on a second-row seat. The cargo section held a large, opened box bearing the name Professional Compounding Centers of America -- a Houston firm that repackages unformulated chemicals for pharmacy compounding -- with the slogan "Compound with Confidence" printed on the side. Visible inside the box are items individually protected in thick, heavy plastic wrap.
