Jonathan Decker

Introduction

Jonathan Decker, a 46-year-old doctor from Rockford, Michigan, whose practice authorities tied to Cedar Springs, was convicted by a federal jury in the Western District of Michigan of distributing more than two million pills of Adderall and other stimulants through the Done ADHD telehealth platform — prescriptions he wrote without examining the patients behind them, for which he was paid more than one million dollars. The jury found him guilty on seven federal counts: one count of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and six counts of distribution and dispensing, while acquitting him on four more distribution counts.

Background Information

Decker was one of the prescribers for Done Global Inc., a California-based digital health company whose platform offered online ADHD diagnosis and medication management by monthly subscription. According to federal prosecutors, the conspiracy behind Done illegally distributed over 37 million pills of Adderall to paying subscribers in all fifty states, fueled by more than $40 million in social media advertising designed to convince viewers they had ADHD rather than other conditions affecting attention and mood. In an indictment filed in May 2025, authorities alleged that between February 2021 and November 2023, Decker was paid over $1 million — roughly $30,000 a month, with the government saying he may have seen more than 2,000 patients in a single month — for prescribing over two million pills of amphetamine-dextroamphetamine and other Schedule II controlled drugs.

The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation

Convicted. A federal jury found Decker guilty of conspiracy and six distribution counts after a 13-day trial; he was found not guilty on four counts. He awaits sentencing and is presumed innocent as to any unadjudicated conduct beyond the verdict.

Trial evidence, as summarized by the Justice Department, showed Decker prescribed methamphetamine to a patient with an active substance use disorder — a patient who had sought the prescription from him and later described pharmacy after pharmacy refusing to fill it. When the refusals mounted, Decker speculated that “running a meth lab seems like a pretty good idea,” according to the department’s release. He also prescribed Adderall to a patient he knew had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and kept prescribing after the patient’s mother messaged him and Done explaining that the drug was worsening her psychotic symptoms. Prosecutors said Decker prescribed Adderall to subscribers after only a short call or no call at all, that the patients did not meet the criteria for an ADHD diagnosis and were likely to sell their pills, and that he changed patient files to make the prescriptions look legitimate.

His trial began September 14, 2026 in federal court in Kalamazoo and lasted thirteen days before the jury returned its verdict. He was ordered to surrender to authorities in Grand Rapids by noon the Friday after the conviction.

Public Reaction and Consequences

Federal officials framed the verdict as a warning to telemedicine at scale. “The Fraud Division is providing full-spectrum accountability for drug dealers who cloak their activities in online telemedicine platforms,” Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald said in the announcement. Miranda L. Bennett, acting deputy inspector general at the HHS Office of Inspector General, said “Dr. Decker’s reckless abuse of his medical license put vulnerable patients at risk and fueled dangerous drug abuse,” and HSI New York’s Pete Gizas called a medical license “a public trust, not a tool for flooding communities with dangerous controlled stimulants.”

Decker’s conviction was the eleventh in the landmark prosecution of the Done Global scheme. Done’s CEO Ruthia He and Clinical President David Brody were previously convicted and ordered to forfeit over $90 million in company revenues, with He sentenced to 72 months in prison and Brody to 24 months, alongside six other licensed prescribers and two senior corporate employees. Done Global itself remains charged with conspiracies to illegally distribute controlled substances, commit health care fraud, and obstruct justice.

Current Status

A sentencing date has not been set. Each of the counts on which Decker was convicted carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million, and prosecutors said at the verdict that he faces a maximum penalty of 140 years. As Medical Daily noted in its account of the verdict, a jury conviction is not a final judgment: Decker may seek post-trial relief or appeal, and he had not been sentenced as of the Justice Department’s October 2, 2026 announcement.

Impact on Their Career/Life

A medical career that the government says was converted into a $1 million pill-writing operation ended in a Kalamazoo courtroom with seven felony convictions, a surrender order, and the prospect of decades in prison. Decker’s name is now permanently attached to one of the defining prosecutions of the telehealth-ADHD boom — the case that already sent the CEO of a billion-dollar-valuation startup to prison — and the tens of thousands of Done patients the case displaced are left to wonder, as Medical Daily put it, whether their original diagnoses were ever handled properly. Whatever happens at sentencing, his prescribing days are over.
