A jury found Ruthia He guilty of conspiring to distribute controlled substances after her startup Done Global became a ready source of Adderall prescriptions for more than 100,000 patients.

The jury found He and Done's former top doctor, David Brody, guilty on two conspiracy counts and four counts of distributing controlled substances. He, Done's former chief executive, was also found guilty of conspiring to obstruct justice. Both defendants could go to prison for decades. Sentencing is scheduled for February.

The company was the subject of a series of articles in The Wall Street Journal from 2022 to 2024 describing how some Done clinicians felt pressured to prescribe stimulants such as Adderall, while others wrote prescriptions much faster than is typical for clinicians doing thorough patient evaluations.

The company has previously said it is a technology platform that connects patients with medical professionals and doesn't prescribe medications. It has also defended its prescription practices and said providers use their clinical judgment to decide whether to prescribe stimulants to patients.
