PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A Cranston man described in court documents as the overseer of a “serious, voluminous production operation” that produced “astronomical” quantities of pills containing methamphetamine, caffeine, and other mixtures disguised and marketed as Adderall was sentenced to federal prison on November 13, 2025, announced Acting United States Attorney Sara Miron Bloom.
Sambo Sok, 41, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Mary S. McElroy to 120 months of incarceration and four years of supervised release. Sok pleaded guilty on June 17, 2025, to charges of possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
