Mr. Blaire fails to mention in his bio that he also worked for another Phoenix area veterinary compounding pharmacy from 1999 to 2001. Mr. Blaire was terminated from his position as Pharmacy Manager when it was revealed that he had printed a copy of the entire company database of customers. He then went on to start Diamondback Drugs.
I also remember him working at that pharmacy and can validate that he was caught taking the customer list and fired by the owners. It now seems his unethical character is resurfacing with law suits filed for patent infringement. He also took cost saving shortcuts in Diamondback's compounding resulting in FDA recalls of over 8000 pain meds from vet clinics because they were not potent enough. How many pets suffered so that he could save a buck?
Should these remarks be true they will be born out in the background check conducted by the FBI,FDIC and primary Regulatory agency. The bar for directorship is very high these days and character is in the top 3 listings. Ernie Garfield is the real issue here as 22 of his first 23 banks failed in Az. There are also other states that will not accept his work. He obviously did not vet the group as he was helping them to guide the process.
Is this the same pharmacy/pharmacist that recently was denied a North Carolina license for making false/misleading statements on the application?
