In 2013, UPS paid $40 million to resolve federal accusations of knowingly shipping drugs for illegal online pharmacies. A year later, after refusing a similar deal, FedEx was indicted by a federal grand jury in San Francisco for conspiracy to traffic in controlled substances on behalf of illegal Internet pharmacies. RX Limited was not among the pharmacy networks included, but the former DEA agent in the 960 group told me that Le Roux provided infor- mation to the prosecutors in the case.

Kim- berly Brill was promoted to Group Supervisor for the Diversion Control Division of the Minneapolis office. Steven Holdren is an agent at the federal Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment in Minneapolis.

Jon Wall, after taking a plea deal that could have resulted in up to five years in prison, was sentenced to probation in 2017. As of the trial, he was working as a dispatcher for a concrete com- pany.
