I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF ILLEGAL ENTERPRISE
The defendant, Harrison Vance, CEO of an unauthorized human-augmentation startup, was prosecuted following an extensive joint investigation by the FDA Criminal Investigations Division, the FTC, and the FBI. Vance secretly marketed unapproved neural implants and synthetic cognitive enhancement drugs to consumers, falsely claiming FDA clearance.
