Chinese Company Accused Of Smuggling Equipment To U.S. Used To Make Fake Pills, Mislead Americans:

“It is evident that bad actors are determined to harm Americans with fentanyl.”

The Trump administration’s Department of Justice has announced that a federal grand jury indicted a Chinese company and three Chinese nationals for allegedly illegally importing equipment capable of producing millions of potentially lethal fake pills.

The indictment, unsealed on Monday, targeted CapsulCN International Co. Ltd. (CapsulCN) and Xiochuan “Ricky” Pan, 40, Tingyan “Monica” Yang, 37, and Xi “Inna” Chen, 30, all of whom were charged with smuggling, Controlled Substances Act, and money laundering offenses in connection with CapsulCN’s unlawful import and distribution of tableting machines (also known as “pill presses”), encapsulating machines, and counterfeit die molds.

“Over a quarter of a million Americans have died from a fentanyl overdose since 2018,” USA Facts notes. “During 2023, approximately 72,000, or nearly seven in 10, drug overdose deaths in the United States were estimated to involve illegally manufactured fentanyls (IMFs),” the CDC has reported.

“Four internet domains used by CapsulCN to market and sell illicit pill-making equipment to U.S. customers were seized today in connection with this investigation,” the DOJ revealed.

“This indictment and today’s domain seizures send an unmistakable message to criminals in the People’s Republic of China and across the world — the Department will use every weapon in its arsenal to combat those who facilitate the manufacture and distribution of deadly drugs in the United States,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated. —>READ MORE HERE

DOJ Indicts Chinese Company, 3 Individuals for Allegedly Smuggling Pill-Making Equipment:

A Justice Department official said the government ‘will use every weapon in its arsenal’ to prevent the manufacturing and distribution of deadly drugs.

Three Chinese nationals and a China-based company have been charged with 21 counts for allegedly importing pill presses and other equipment used for making “lethal fake pills” into the United States, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on May 12.

Pan Xiaochuan, Yang Tingyan, and Chen Xi were indicted on charges of smuggling drugs and money laundering over their alleged roles in CapsulCN International Co.’s importation of pill-making equipment into the United States. The indictment was returned last month but was only unsealed on Monday.

Federal prosecutors stated that between December 2011 and April 2025, CapsulCN imported pill-making equipment to the United States using deceptive packaging and false shipping details to avoid detection by customs.

“This indictment and today’s domain seizures send an unmistakable message to criminals in the People’s Republic of China and across the world—the Department will use every weapon in its arsenal to combat those who facilitate the manufacture and distribution of deadly drugs in the United States,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement.

In the indictment, prosecutors said that CapsulCN was aware that drug traffickers could use the equipment to make fake pills laced with controlled substances such as fentanyl and methamphetamine.

The company used multiple websites, social media sites, and e-commerce platforms to advertise its business to customers seeking to make counterfeit pills that mimicked prescription drugs. —>READ MORE HERE
