Great work on this thread everybody! Took me three hours to read through and catch up. My not-for-profit accountant friend and I did some basic looking at the HFS (Hospice of the Florida Suncoast) 990 returns and he will look at all dating back to '97. His initial reaction was that their financial reporting was 'creative'.

He's zeroing in on their mission statement and how that relates to their dealings RE software program development, etc. they use to 'fund' their for-profit business. Also that a great deal of their funding is via Medicare and how that ties into the whole deal. He was using 'accountant-speak' which, of course makes a normal person's head ache :-) Don't know that he'll find anything that's not already been revealed in the various lawsuits, but it's worth a try.

All HFS info is posted here. This excellent work is by the Hospice Patients Alliance, whose representative has been in touch with me. A quote from his email to me:

"What I do you cannot do; but what you do, I cannot do. The needs are great, and none of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful." - Mother Teresa

Is it on guidestar.org ? You can sure find a lot of "creative" non-profits, and their tax returns, on this useful site.
