On Monday, the United States Department of Justice announced the indictments of the company, CapsulCN International Co., Ltd.

The indictment also charges Pan, CapsulCN’s principal officer and a shareholder, with leading a continuing criminal enterprise. Additionally, 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.
