These aren't govt issued cards, they're basically a hand written receipt from the site location you went to. It might as well be a sticky note. They weren't used to break any law.

followup: They're being charged with wire fraud, which is probably the payment for buying the card and pills, and for breaking a law that was made in 1996 for people running a health care benefit program.
