law enforcement is working! The Philip Esformes indictment in Florida and Seth Gillman plea of guilty in Illinois are the lodestar cases of Health care fraud as they lead directly to one of the most lucrative and prolific criminal enterprises in the United States. Here in Chicago our local miscreants are so strong that the CALL for an HONEST INVESTIGATION are fighting words. Any attorney who uses these words as is applied to judicial corruption or the massive Medicare frauds or the Elder Cleansing scandal will find himself/herself in the 'sights' of the Illinois ATtorney Registration and Disciplinary commission. If not intimidated the lawyer will find himself/herself with a suspended law license. God Help the lawyer with a skin color that is dark. (Lanre Amu got an interim and 3 year suspension of his law license because he was caught practicing law while 'black!'
Jerome Larkin, the administrator of the IARDC was so convincing to his kangaroo panels that even though the judge in question never denied the charges and a respected business magazine echoed the very same charges that Amu made, Amu's panels found by clear and convincing evidence that Amu's charges were improper. Indeed, when Lawyer JoAnne Denison echoed charges of judicial corruption and disseminated them in her blog MaryGSykes she was subjected to the very same fate!
Fake news is child's play here in Illinois. The Constitution of the STate of Illinois is a technicality to be ignored by our public officials and the Constitution of the United States is a rumor invented by Donald Trump! Indeed, whatever Jerome Larkin, the Political elite and the judicial elite says is the LAW OF THE LAND in Illinois and the fact that his utterances have no basis in reality is irrelevant. We are engaged in a great civil war against the elderly and as far as Illinois is concerned the elderly are just another commodity to be exploited!
Fortunately the United States of America is still the home of the brave and land of the free. The Justice Department's list of indictments in health care fraud is growing. Soon, we hope they will turn their attention to some of the larger miscreants and their protectors. For instance, Philip Esformes is not unknown in Chicago and it is rumored that he and his father (and a bunch of associates) have quite a elder cleansing operation going right here in Chicago and that it is well protected by the political and judicial elite. Dr. Incompetent charging a finite number of patients for examinations that he never made is small potatoes. On a single elderly person (commodity) over a million dollars of savings and other assets can be stolen. In the Mary Sykes case 3 million dollars was allegedly stolen. In Alice Gore 1.5 million disappeared along with the gold from Alice's teeth. *******
