The statement that I have highlighted in yellow is absolutely amazing.
Whatever ivory tower the author of the statement lives in must have no doors and no windows. The billion dollar theft from medicare from the 30 Esformes nursing homes in Florida is a drop in the bucket, as right here in Chicago Esformes is tied to several times that number. The alleged criminal enterprise is massive with an alleged theft from the Medicare program larger than the gross National Product earned in some very significant countries.
The denial of bail is also significant in that that WLS, WGN, CBS, NBC, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun Times and the mailman all are aware that the Esformes family has put on a full court press of money and influence to obtain bail for Philip. It appears that in spite of all inducements (both legal and those not so legal) a Federal Judge has not been moved to discard his principles.
This fact has to send shivers to the heart of the miscreant empire - headquartered in Chicago - AND fear into the hearts and minds of the corrupt public and judicial officials, if any, who have been on the alleged unofficial Esformes payroll for years. The indictment and the refusal to grant bail also sends a memorandum that fleeing the USA in order to avoid HONEST INVESTIGATIONS OF the felonies and cover-up of Elder Cleansing is not a sure thing.
The Esformes indictment, coupled with the Seth Gilman plea of guilty in the HOSPICE frauds, and further augmented by the Omnicare $150 plus million dollar finds (and the sale to CVS for 14.2 billion dollars are all significant events that somehow the Chicago media has shoved under the rug.
What nexus do they have to Chicago? Brother, if you cannot figure this out *****!

Longtime nursing home operators must face trial, judge rules
Whistle-blower alleges father and son accepted kickbacks in 2004 sale
July 24, 2013|By Gary Marx and David Jackson, Chicago Tribune reporters
- 4430
Two longtime nursing home operators must stand trial to face a whistle-blower's allegations that the father and son took kickbacks related to the 2004 sale of a pharmacy company, a federal judge has ruled.
The ruling by District Judge John Tharp Jr. comes two weeks after the pharmaceutical giant Omnicare Inc. agreed to pay $17.2 million to the government to settle its part of the ongoing lawsuit, according to attorneys involved in the case.
The 6-year-old suit alleges that Omnicare paid Chicago nursing home operators Philip Esformes and his father, Morris Esformes, a kickback by significantly inflating the price Omnicare paid in 2004 for Total Pharmacy, which was partially owned by Philip Esformes.
The plaintiff, former Total Pharmacy employee Maureen Nehls, states in the suit that Omnicare's $32 million purchase of Total included a multimillion-dollar kickback to secure long-term pharmacy contracts with more than two dozen nursing homes the Esformeses operated or influenced.
In a 38-page order handed down Tuesday, Tharp rejected the Esformes family's motion for summary judgment.
According to Nehls, Philip Esformes paid $4,000 for a 40 percent stake in Total Pharmacy in 2002, then reaped $7 million less than two years later in the Omnicare deal.
Total Pharmacy became so valuable because Morris Esformes had directed all of the nursing homes he owned to abandon their current pharmacy providers and replace them with Total, Nehls alleged.
It would not be unreasonable for a jury to infer that Philip Esformes "largely paid for his substantial stake in Total Pharmacy by delivering the Esformes Homes as customers," Tharp wrote in his order Tuesday.
After Omnicare acquired Total Pharmacy, Morris Esformes also solicited and received from two part owners of Total about $800,000 in donations to a religious school he built, according to Nehls.
Morris Esformes vigorously disputed that the donations were part of a kickback scheme. There is no allegation that Esformes personally received any money from the sale to Omnicare, and he has "absolutely done nothing wrong," his attorney Harvey Tettlebaum said.
"Philip Esformes continues to insist this lawsuit is baseless and wrong-minded," attorney Michael Pasano said Wednesday. "His participation in Total Pharmacy was appropriate, and the sale to Omnicare was arm's-length and proper. Philip Esformes has done nothing wrong and looks forward to his opportunity in court to clear his name."
Omnicare, which supplies medicine to millions of nursing home residents in facilities across the U.S., did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday but previously told the Tribune the allegations are without merit.
Nehls' attorneys, David Joel Chizewer and Matthew Organ of the Goldberg Kohn firm, declined to comment.
Her case was brought under the False Claims Act, which allows private citizens to sue companies and individuals that are defrauding the government and to recover money on the government's behalf. Nehls alleges that the Total Pharmacy deal violated Medicaid rules that require nursing home operators to choose their pharmacy based on the best interest of patients.
The trial has been set for Aug. 12 in the federal courthouse in Chicago.

Medical Mafia Ring Busted - Again
July 24, 2016
Philip Esformes, son of Rabbi Morris I. Esformes, faces another indictment for his family's career medical fraud.
Medicare and Medicaid fraud and other types of medical fraud can be extremely lucrative. In the latest case involving the Esformes family, it is estimated to amount to $1 billion from 2002 to 2016.
“This is the largest single criminal health care fraud case ever brought against individuals by the Department of Justice,” Leslie Caldwell, assistant attorney general of the department’s criminal division, said in a statement.
What Caldwell didn't say that is that the fraud shouldn't have been allowed to occur in the first place. The Esformes have long been known to authorities yet had been allowed to steal from taxpayers and abuse the people held in their care for far too long.
Rabbi Morris I. Esformes and his son Philip Esformes operated dozens of nursing homes in Illinois and Florida and used the people in their care to generate illicit payments from the government and get kick-backs from other medical service providers. The earliest complaints about their facilities goes back to the 1990s.
Philip Esformes is currently charged with colluding with doctors, hospitals and medical service providers to shuttle patients among their facilities for the purpose of filling their beds and maximizing Medicare reimbursements and engaging in fraudulent billings for treatments not needed.
While the Esformes family has long been on the radar of authorities, Rabbi Morris I. Esformes used his social and political connections to evade prosecution. In 2005, the esteemed Rabbi played the religion card when he was facing charges of abuse and neglect for abominable conditions in his Chicago nursing homes when he accused the authorities of being anti-mental health, racist and against jews. "Beside the fact that they’re anti-mental health and anti-black, they’re probably anti-jew because I’m an ordained rabbi,” he said.
An early co-conspirator with the Esformes, Chicago doctor Roland Borrasi, was recorded by federal agents saying, “Basically, I have a commodity; my commodity is nursing home patients.”
And those patients were treated as nothing more than commodities. Patients were given treatments that weren't needed or even related to what conditions they might have had. The treaments damaged their health and shortened their lives. Taxpayers picked-up the tab.
To get the commodity, Borrasi claims to have essentially rented patients from the Esformes' nursing homes. Lynn Madeja, Borrasi's medical biller and mistress, told government agents that Borrasi had said: "I got to give Philip $1,000 or $10,000" to use Esformes' patients.
Despite the evidence against them, the Ensformes were not indicted in the earlier cases and were allowed to continue to operate their racket unhindered. In a separate case in 2013, the Esformes agreed to pay the government $5 million to settle allegations that they took kickbacks related to the 2004 sale of a pharmacy company.
The Esformes family is just one of many operators in a criminal operation that permeats the medical industry. According to an article in the Economist in 2014, the RAND Corporation estimates that medical fraud in the United States amounts to $272 billion each year.
The medical industy remains the third leading cause of premature death. The three biggest killers are:
- Heart disease (clogged arteries)
- Cancer
- Medical mafia (doctors, nurses, hospitals, drug companies)
While prosecutions of medical fraud have increased in recent years, the problem remains massive and pervasive.
The next time you seek medical treatment you might want to reconsider who and what you might be dealing with and proceed with caution. Clearly, doctor does not always know best, or have good intentions.
