Con Artist Starred in Sting That Cost Google Millions - WSJ.com: Federal agents created a site selling weight-loss medications without a prescription. They also added another site selling the abortion pill RU-486, which in the U.S. can only be taken in a doctor's office.
Google's ad team in Mexico approved the site, so U.S. consumers searching for "RU 486" would see an ad for the site. Google ad executives allowed the agents to add the phrase "no prescription needed."
Days later, federal agents added links to buy the drugs directly. Such sales broke U.S. laws prohibiting the sale of drugs from outside the country and without a prescription.
