Lynn man sentenced to more than 10 years for counterfeit steroid conspiracy

BOSTON – A Lynn man was sentenced in U.S. District Court Friday for conspiracy to traffic counterfeit steroids, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Phillip Goodwin, 37, pleaded guilty to distributing controlled substances, trafficking counterfeit drugs, possession with intent to distribute controlled substances, and money laundering.

He faces up to 11 years in federal prison and three years probation.

Last year, Goodwin and five others, including Tyler Bauman, were arrested and charged with operating a counterfeit steroid operation on the North Shore.

From 2015 until 2017, prosecutors alleged the conspirators manufactured steroid products in Goodwin’s home, and marketed them as “Onyx” steroids using “Onyx” labels that were also ordered from overseas suppliers. Onyx, owned by Amgen Inc., is a pharmaceutical company that does not manufacture steroids.

The defendants sold the steroids online to customers nationwide using email and social media. They collected payment through Western Union and MoneyGram, and used false identifications and multiple remitter locations to pick up the proceeds, police said. Some of the defendants laundered proceeds from the steroid sales through Wicked Tan LLC, a tanning business located in Beverly, which they owned to launder the proceeds of the steroid operation, according to the complaint.

Last summer, Bauman pleaded guilty to his role in the conspiracy and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
