Smile, dirty docs, you’re on candid fed camera

The feds had an accused drug-dealing doctor’s clinic under extensive surveillance that gave them an up-close look at shady patient visits, a prosecutor revealed Wednesday.

Dante Cubangbang was one of five doctors and a pharmacist charged last week with flooding the city with millions of painkillers, leading to multiple overdoses and several deaths. The feds’ investigation of Cubangbang’s alleged Queens pill mill included a “pole camera” outside the clinic, a bug planted inside that captured audio and video — and a confidential source who recorded patient visits, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Krouse said during a hearing in Manhattan Federal Court regarding the extent of evidence in the case.

Four months of footage from the pole camera captured “patients going in and out and the brevity of those visits,” Krouse said.

The source filmed patients’ visits that featured a minimal examination by Cubangang or his staff, followed by generous prescriptions for oxycodone, according to Krouse.

Cubangbang and three of his employees are charged with selling more than 6 million pills out of their pain relief office — the most of any doctor’s office in the state. The pills were then sold for $30 apiece on the street, according to a criminal complaint.

The scheme resulted in $5.7 million in profits, prosecutors say.
