Joshua Weinstein resided in Miami, in the Southern District of Florida, where he served as President and sales representative at Wholesaler C, a secondary pharmaceutical distributor. He handled accounts like Creative Care, a Houston-area pill mill pharmacy, despite awareness of clear red flags for drug diversion such as metal bars on doors and a sparse customer area designed for quick pickups. Weinstein conspired with others from mid-2017 through October 2019 in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties to unlawfully distribute and dispense controlled substances, including opioids, based on street demand rather than legitimate medical purposes. In 2024, the 50-year-old Miami resident pleaded guilty in the Southern District of Florida to one count of conspiracy to unlawfully distribute and possess with intent to distribute controlled substances. His current professional status post-conviction is unclear, with no recent Miami-based role confirmed.
