Judge sends therapist to prison for 35 years in massive Medicare-fraud case
By Jay Weaver

A federal judge Monday issued another astonishing prison sentence in the nation’s biggest mental-health fraud case, sending a Miami therapist to prison for 35 years.

Marianella Valera, 40, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Peru who ran Miami-based American Therapeutic Corp. with her boyfriend, received less time in prison than he did.

On Friday, Lawrence Duran, 49, a New York transplant, got 50 years as the mastermind of the massive Medicare-fraud scheme —- accounting for more than $200 million in bogus billing to the taxpayer-funded program.

But in both instances, U.S. District Judge James Lawrence King gave out the longest prison sentences ever for a Medicare-fraud offender. Previously, the longest sentence was a 30-year term imposed in 2008 on a Miami physician convicted in an HIV-therapy scam. FULL STORY

I left a nice comment there (subject to moderation)-

This is just the teeniest tip of the iceberg of the ungodly utter corruption families are dealing with.

This is part of the immeasurable FRAUD against the Social Security system.
