A man sentenced to five years in prison for illegally possessing prescription-only drugs worth more than £2 million.
In 2016, drugs were discovered at Kieron Banks' Wolverhampton home, and the 34-year-old was also found guilty of having the intent to supply them.
Evidence demonstrating that Banks had received more than £2 million from the sale of the medications was found along with more than 23,000 sleeping pills.
Earlier, at Wolverhampton Crown Court, he received a sentence.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which was informed that a website connected to Banks was selling the pills, opened an investigation.
Public advertising of these medications is forbidden.
Zopiclone, zolpidem, and zolpidem tartrate were among the sleeping pills discovered.
On January 27, after a trial, he was found guilty.
Ben Reid, a prosecutor with the Crown Prosecution Service, claimed that even though Banks was aware that the drugs might be addictive and have negative side effects, "that did not stop him.".
The Proceeds of Crime Act will be used to pursue the ill-gotten gains in this case, he continued.
