4. The DEA will certainly at a minimum revoke the Drs registration

And the Dr will not be able to prescribe again, but most likely will also seek to prosecute the doctor.

They have been clamping down hard on doctors who overprescribe or commit fraud, and this was both. They will almost certainly use this high profile case to make a point.

It also stands a better chance of being prosecuted because it's a high profile, high news coverage case. That is what draws US Attorneys offices in and makes them more eager to go after a case- because they are all inherently political and self-promoting types who look for the kind of high profile cases that will body a career. They will see this case as a good one to have their names plastered all over the press releases on.
