Pharmed Group
The Pharmed group was once the premier international distributor of medical, surgical, pharmaceutical and rehabilitative supplies in Florida and the largest Hispanic distributor in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, but it later became a symbol of corruption in South Florida. From its humble beginnings in 1980 in a small storage room with only one desk and one phone in southwest Miami, The Pharmed Group emerged as the premier international distributor of medical, surgical, pharmaceutical and rehabilitative supplies in Florida and the largest Hispanic distributor in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean. In 2007, the company and its founders were charged with multiple counts of health care fraud and tax evasion, and Pharmed declared bankruptcy later that year. In 2009, Pharmed founders Carlos De Cespedes and Jorge De Cespedes pleaded guilty to health care-related wire fraud and tax evasion and were sentenced to 9 years in federal prison. Pharmed was liquidated in bankruptcy and is no longer in operation.
== Founders’ Pedro Pan Beginnings ==
In 1961, the de Céspedes parents entrusted the lives of their two boys, Carlos and Jorge, to the Roman Catholic Church in the United States. Operation “Pedro Pan,” a program created by the Catholic Welfare Bureau of Miami in December 1960, brought many young children to the United States at the request of parents in Cuba who sought a means to send their children to Miami to avoid Marxist-Leninist indoctrination. Operation Pedro Pan separated many children from their parents. Separated upon arrival in Miami, the de Céspedes boys were raised in an orphanage and were allowed to visit one another once a week. This involuntary separation helped the brothers form a bond that has proven to be unyielding and unmatched. So much so that when SmithKline decided it needed a second sales rep in South Florida, Carlos recommended his brother Jorge. Here began the business partnership that would flourish into The Pharmed Group.
The success of The Pharmed Group was attributed to the entrepreneurial spirit and steadfast determination of its founders, but that view changed once the brothers plead guilty to felony fraud and were sentenced to federal prison.〔
