Florida Man Arrested for Alleged Multistate Prescription Hacking Scheme

Devin Anthony Magarian Accused of Exploiting E-Prescribing System to Issue Tens of Thousands of Illegal Narcotic Prescriptions

  • Devin Anthony Magarian, 21, of Kissimmee, Florida, was arrested in New York for allegedly hacking into doctors' e-prescribing accounts and issuing tens of thousands of illegal prescriptions for narcotics.
  • Magarian is accused of running a Telegram channel to advertise the illicit prescriptions and customers could directly contact him to gain a prescription which they would then fill themselves.
  • The scheme allegedly grossed between $75,000 and $200,000 a month, allowing Magarian and his associates to live an extravagant lifestyle.
  • Magarian was arrested when he was in New York to pick up about $14,000 in compensation for 630 Oxycodone pills that were 30 mg each.
  • The investigation began in February 2023 when an unnamed defendant, a 22-year-old man, was arrested outside of a Great Neck pharmacy after picking up two prescriptions that were not in his name.
