DeRose friend and cohort gets 71 counts of fraud dropped like a hot potatoe

Anyone think DeRose cohort Tony Ianne will see one hour of jail time?  

Along with the DeRoses' he's just part of the "family" who owns and runs Pueblo along with the Carleo's, whose dumbass son tried to rob the casino in Las Vegas.  No wonder there is an air of arrogance that shrouds these people.  

We know why this deal had to be made by the DA and everyone involved.  Because God knows everyone in town is involved!  How do you jail an entire city?!  Gag me!

Ianne pleads to one fraud charge By JEFF TUCKER | jtucker@chieftain.com The Pueblo Chieftain | 14 comments

The central figure in one of the city's largest mortgage fraud schemes will see nearly all of the charges against him disappear with a single plea.

 Anthony Joseph Ianne, 50, pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of conspiracy to commit a computer crime in exchange for the dismissal of 71 other counts including a violation of the Colorado Organized Crime Act.

The case against Ianne's co-defendant, John Valle, also will be dismissed.  Ianne is scheduled for sentencing in May and faces up to six years in prison, unless District Judge David Crockenberg finds extraordinary aggravating circumstances, in which case the maximum sentence will be 12 years.

But according to the agreement, Crockenberg will have all of the sentencing options available to him, including prison, a community corrections facility or probation.

District Attorney Bill Thiebaut said he stands by the agreement that sweeps away nearly six dozen felony charges as well as two separate indictments alleging witness intimidation.
"The plea agreement speaks for itself," Thiebaut said in a statement Thursday. "I am confident that at sentencing, and after arguments are made by the prosecution and the defendant’s counsel, the court will impose a just sentence that will advance the goals of the safety and economic well-being of our community."

 A Pueblo grand jury indicted Ianne on Dec. 7, 2009.
 He was accused of enlisting others to purchase homes from his inventory of rentals, with guarantees about tenant assistance and rental income.

Clinic "Owner" Pay Checks

 

Here is what a typical paycheck for a dentist who is labeled as an "owner" of one of these Medicaid dental mills.  This would be for a 2 week/80 hours pay period.

Jane Doe    
Regular Pay             $7500.00
Administrative Fee $5000.00 (depending on how many clinics they lend their name to)
Bonus                       $3750.00 (meeting productions goals and file audits)
                                        $16,250.00

Think the "administrative fee" is really "license rental" payments?

DOJ Report To Judicial Committee–FRAUD

 

January 26, 2011

Assistant Attorney Generals Tony West and Lanny Breuer appear before the Judiciary Committee with a recap of funds recovered on behalf of the taxpayer in 2010.  You can read the full statement here.

Needless to say, Church Street Health Management f/k/a FORBA Holdings and their Small Smiles dental clinics settlement came up in the statement.  It was one year ago this month that Small Smiles settled an investigation which began in late 2007 with the Feds for $24 million, as well as settled with the state of NY for another $2 million.

Watch full session here, session begins at 28 minutes in, so move slider bar forward.

Senator Leahy says he wants to see these people go to jail, he compares it to a person who steals a car, who goes to jail.

Senator Grassley wants answers about settlements, who agreed to them and if they are nothing more than the cost of doing business.

Me too, Senator Grassley, me too!

Mr. West said when it comes to Corporate Fraud, they wanted to make it a financial deterrent for corporations committing fraud.

Sen. Leahy wanted to know what was being done to put them in jail!

Concealing Ownership? Good Idea? No

According to the List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE) it was March 2010 before William A. Mueller, DDS, one of the founders of Small Smiles Dental Centers was excluded from the Medicaid program.

It was August 2010, before Michael A. DeRose, former DDS and another co-founder of Small Smiles Dental Centers was excluded.  Why? Why did it take so long? 

However, now that each of these individual are excluded, it would be illegal for either to hide under a stack of corporations concealing their ownership and control of any clinic or facility that bills Medicaid for services.  Just saying.

Don't believe me, see NY-AG press release July 16, 2009.

So, your doing a procedure …
