A drug's pedigree assures that all ensuing pill transactions have a chain of custody all the way back to the company that produced the pills. However, if there is a way to game the system, bad guys will find and leverage it. One recent example was profiled in this FiercePharma Manufacturing blog post, "The U.S. has gotten guilty pleas out of a Texas couple who ran a fake-drug wholesaling business that sold nearly 60 million dollars' worth of drugs obtained off the street."

The wholesaling scam was lucrative for the couple to the tune of 14 million dollars profit.
