HOW CAN A NON-PROFIT OWN A FOR PROFIT unless for the purpose of money laundering? I say the Directors of both entities are doing deeds that surpass what ENRON ever did because there are moral implications for Hospice of Suncoast.

When they work with families, the people they send out seem to be caring. But, when you look at the top, this is not what's going on. I wish Hospice of the Suncoast would be kicked out of town and we'd go back to faith based groups to help the terminally ill. I'd volunteer in some capacity if Hospice was sent to jail.

You're right!

Suncoast Hospice is like Enron in that it uses suspect accounting methods. But they are doing more than just taking people's money.

[Jonathan Alpert's] suit said Suncoast Solutions is unprofitable, but Labyak says it has been profitable for two years. But hospice's records don't bear that out, Alpert said.
Suncoast Solutions markets software that allows doctors or nurses to track patient information by laptop computer from remote locations.
The subsidiary has sold software to about 100 other hospices, Labyak said, and employs 20 people. Labyak serves as the company's president.
