2. John was referred to therapy by the court, as part of a rehabilitation program. He is serving time in prison, having been convicted of grand fraud. The scam perpetrated by him involved hundreds of retired men and women in a dozen states over a period of three years. All his victims lost their life savings and suffered grievous and life-threatening stress symptoms. He seems rather peeved at having to attend the sessions but tries to hide his displeasure by claiming to be eager to "heal, reform himself and get reintegrated into normative society". When I ask him how does he feel about the fact that three of his victims died of heart attacks as a direct result of his misdeeds, he barely suppresses an urge to laugh out loud and then denies any

Being vigilant of changes in employees’ performance, behaviors, and habits is a key way to identify employees that may be involved in fraudulent activity.

The federal mail and wire fraud statutes ban plans or schemes to defraud that includes the utilization of mail or wire communications. Both condemn deceitful conduct that may likewise come surprisingly close to other federal criminal statutes. Both may serve as money laundering offenses. Both are deserving of imprisonment for not more than 20 years; for not more than 30 years, if the victim is a financial institution or the offense is committed in times of crisis. Victims in both of these situations are entitled to restitution. Both may bring about the relinquishment of property. The mail fraud statue was introduced in the early nineteenth century and the wire fraud statute is a little more recent as it was enacted in 1952.
I think it is interesting that you mentioned that O’Peele had signed off prescriptions for the electric power chairs using a purchased Medicare list. It showed how the government lacks some form of fraud protection. Medicare was paying for the wheelchair before making inquiries about what they were paying for. Medicare could probably detect fraud easier if bills where sent more promptly to patients before making payments. It makes me think of the high amount of pre-approved visits a person has when they visit a specialized doctor. It’s like once you see the doctor once and do not have to come back do they keep trying to bill for those pre-approved visits.

The news article from Abc News, which was labeled as School $46 Million Fraud Scheme, seemed to be the strongest source as I looked through the news. The main purpose that came from this article, was to let the public know that without knowing your children could be enrolled in something that they don’t even attend. They want to bring this kind of stuff to parents’ attention, because what if someone’s child was an addict and wasn’t getting the help they needed because of people scamming? People also need to be aware of these situations because this just shows that you may trusted these people that are actually scamming the system.
