Woo-spreading chiro-quack closes up shop...

A chiropractor who had an office not far from my place has closed up shop, and moved out of state, no one knows where.

This was a chiropractor who advertised heavily he wanted to use chiropractic on babies.

According to one report, he owes hundreds of thousands in back rent of his office, and had been sued for malpractice a number of times.

He also sold a lot of supplements of dubious brand names.

So this quack fled, rather than face the music.

(Relative of mine was a die-hard supporter of him)

Kept buying the lies from a tenant, and then the tenant used every legal trick he could think of not to be evicted.

Tookk 5 years to finally have him literally dragged out by the police.

And the place was a disaster, my Dad and I renovated the apartment, took us months.
Guy had 4 large dogs that dug huge holes in doors.

He was stealing big bucks from Medicare. Fined $60k, gave up his license, jail time and house arrest.

He can afford it though. He came away with $22,000,000. But at least he didn't convince your relative to buy some useless supplements.

BTW he was a neurosurgeon.
