Let me get this straight, private equity firm FFL’s corporation—NCDR, LLC/Kool Smiles—hired Dr. Troung, trained him to be a thief, gave him quota’s to meet, and now want their money back for legal expenses. OMG!
Here is what I want to know:
1. Why was Dr. Tuan Truong not on his hands and knees begging to spill his guts about this crooked company?
2. If he did who stopped him and why?
3. Was he here on a work visa?
PS: Don’t choke and puke when you read out “Kool Smiles” cooperated with the investigation! You bet your ass they did, and directed investigators to only what they wanted them to know apparently.

Solis, to 18 months in federal prison. Truong pleaded guilty in August 2013 to an Information charging one count of making a false statement in connection with a health care matter. Truong was also ordered to pay $57,969 in restitution to Kool Smiles. Today’s announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Saldaña of the Northern District of Texas.
According to documents filed in the case, in summer 2008, Truong began working for Kool Smiles, which paid him a base salary and offered opportunities for bonuses based on additional procedures he performed in excess of daily targets set by Kool Smiles management. Dentists were required to use professional judgment in the treatment and management of patient care.
