Walgreens has been nailed by the FEDS many times in the past 3-5 years.

They were selling patient information to anyone who wanted to buy the info.....Name, address, phone number, Bdate, SS#, what drug and how much etc...
They were making a ton of money, the feds nailed them and fined them, but nowhere near the amount they made.
Then they continued and the Feds nailed them again, and fined them again, but again, nowhere near the amount they made,
Then the did it again, and again the fine was nowhere near the amount they made. The CEO laughed at the feds, and was sneering and saying, no problem the fines are also tax deductible by us.....

Last I heard, a Hedge Fund had taken them over, which is the kiss of death to any business......
