79-Year-Old Odessa Man Indicted For Taking Kickbacks From Drug Company

TAMPA, FL — A 79-year-old Odessa man has been indicted on charges of soliciting and receiving kickbacks and bribes.

Last week, United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announced the unsealing of an indictment charging Thomas Mollick and Martin Krytus, 55, of Windemere with conspiracy to solicit and receive illegal remunerations (kickbacks and bribes).

If convicted on all counts, Mollick and Krytus could each face a maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison.

The indictment also notifies Mollick and Krytus that the United States confiscate any proceeds from their offenses if convicted.

According to the indictment, Mollick co-founded and served as president of RX Development (“RXD”) and as president and director of Mollick Enterprises Inc. (“MEI”).

Between January 2012 and March 2017, Mollick, who was responsible for overseeing the creation and operation of RXD’s in-office drug-dispensing program, selected the company’s wholesale drug supplier and bribed the drug supplier to make kickback payments to MEI, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Krytus co-founded and served as vice president of RXD, and as president, secretary, treasurer and director of Eastwood & Associates Inc. (“EW”).

Krytus, who was also responsible for overseeing the creation and operation of RXD’s in-office drug-dispensing program, received a portion of kickback payments made by the drug supplier to MEI.

This case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Inspector General, the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
