Manitoba Internet pharmacy pioneer to be released from prison

Andrew Strempler, 41, was released after serving two-thirds of a four-year sentence for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and importing and selling foreign and fake drugs to American citizens. Strempler was the founder, owner and president of an Internet mail and telephone order pharmacy based in Manitoba, Canada. Strempler served the bulk of his prison sentence in a U.S. jail but was transferred to a minimum-security prison in Manitoba during July of 2015. Various conditions exist with Strempler’s early release and must be maintained until January 2, 2016.
