Doctor found guilty of $25M for bogus surgeries

[Khansaber]

It took a Brooklyn jury about three hours to convict a Long Island doctor of billing Medicare more than $25 million for procedures he never actually performed.

Syed Ahmed, 51, was found guilty on all six counts against him Thursday night in Brooklyn federal court.

During the three-week trial, prosecutors said that Ahmed billed for as many as five bogus surgeries a day on the same patient. In all, he pocketed $3 million in Medicare reimbursements from 2011 to 2013.

The disgraced doctor faces up to 45 years behind bars.

All it says in the last sentence.

 

[Mr Justice]

This disgraced doctor took all of his crook habits from Pakistan and continued on, thinking there may be sitting the same level of corrupt administration and judicial system.

Welcome to America.

It is not something Pakistan's specialty as I have seen cases like these from people of lots of Nations including Indians, Chinese, Americans etc. etc. If you want just google the net and you will find a lot of them. Here I am pasting a link of Google search and another in which you would see dozens of cases with dozens of doctors, hospitals and medical practices and see the names you can see people from all nationalities and religious groups amongest these thugs.

Corruption is not as open and rampant as in pakistan. Do their mps do not harbor dacoits , they don't devour bank loans and get away with it, they don't do non merit ,appointments and appointment their relatives, they are not involved in murders and other crimes like pakistanis do, they dont have fake degrees and so on and so forth ..they are answerable to the public and a common cop.
