A Quebec man who imported millions of fake anti-anxiety pills from China to the United States via the dark web has been sentenced to 30 years in a U.S. prison.

Arden McCann, 37, was convicted after he was caught distributing counterfeit Xanax pills—commonly used to treat anxiety disorders—across 49 U.S. states, according to a Jan. 23 press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia.
