Update: The Palm Beach Post just reported Melgen was convicted of all 67 counts.
“A prominent Florida eye doctor has been convicted on all counts in his Medicare fraud trial, raising the possibility he could be pressured to testify in the bribery trial of New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez,” the Associated Press reported on Friday afternoon:
Jurors announced their verdict Friday for Dr. Salomon Melgen. He effectively faces a life sentence if no deal is struck. Menendez denies any wrongdoing.
Prosecutors contended that the 62-year-old Melgen stole up to $105 million from the federal insurance program between 2008 and 2013, by giving patients treatments and tests that couldn’t help them.
Melgen’s attorneys argued that any billing issues were simply mistakes.
As Breitbart News has reported, the testimony presented by the prosecution’s expert medical witnesses during the trial was very damaging, while the testimony of his own defense witnesses backfired.
The jury announced the verdict after its third day of deliberation.
On April 1, 2015, Melgen and his friend and political contribution beneficiary, Sen. Robert Menendez (D-New Jersey), were indicted on charges of public corruption.
Two weeks later, on April 15, Melgen was indicted on 76 charges of Medicare fraud. “[P]rosecutors said [Melgen] attempted to bilk the health care program out of as much as $190 million,” the Associated Press reported at the time of the second indictment.
Sen. Menendez has previously indicated he intends to run for re-election in 2018.

he didn’t “see” that coming
Torricelli II coming up!
If not a mysterious death, he will sing like Pavarotti.
This is the time for the NJGOP to take notice:
Tom Kean, Jr.
or
Jay Webber
For Senate 2018
Bobby boy, you’re going down. A little too much partying with BJ Bill, eh?
I think I may have a doctor who I saw committing medicare fraud...it’s going to be interesting. They charged for two inappropriate tests...
If the GOP doesn’t screw this up they could get 60+ senate seats in 2018.
Dr. Mengele, Mengele?? Where have I heard that name before?
Sucicide, no doubt.
As he shoots himself in the head 3 times.
Many doctors are ripping off Medicare like you wouldn't believe. I had a cortisone shot last month for a sore back...got the insurance statement yesterday. The charge was $1250.00 for 45 minutes plus the injection.
I showed the statement to my primary doctor, a good conservative. He wasn't shocked at all. He said this stuff is going on all the time, even with the most reputable doctors.
I agreed with him because for years and years I have noticed many out-of-whack charges on other medical bills of mine. Luckily, I have great insurance, and all my medical bills are covered totally.
The problem is that folks won't report obvious medical frauds for fear of losing their doctors, so the Gravy Train for medical practitioners goes on and on unabated.
I hope the Trump Train derails this unabated rip-off of taxpayers running into billions of dollars from doctor's overcharging and billing the government Medicare program for it.

I wonder how much of the $105mm ended up supporting democrat candidates?
Billing issues were simply mistakes to the tune of $190 million over 5 years in their favor. An eye doctor. 1 eye doctor stole that much. Now add up all the others stealing!
He’ll likely be audited by the IRIS.
Gee isn’t this wonderful! Just another example of what “diversity” has brought this country with this Dominican Republic “transplant.”
How do you do a business this booming anyhow?

Unnecessary testing ping. Think I might share this one. Oodles of unnecessary testing likely going on everywhere.
