FBI whistleblower: Florida Gov. Scott ‘was the father’ of fraud at his former company

[Galraedia]

An accountant who became an FBI whistleblower in a Medicare fraud investigation against a hospital chain spoke out on Monday, saying the company’s former chief executive, Florida Governor Rick Scott, must have known about hundreds of millions of dollars in theft.

“Fraud was brewing in the DNA of Rick Scott’s company from the very beginning, and he was the father of it,” John Schilling said at a news conference organized by the rival gubernatorial campaign of Democrat Charlie Crist.

Scott is facing off against Crist in a close election battle, an expensive and closely watched political race for the nation’s largest swing state.

Scott, a founder of the hospital company Colombia/HCA, was ousted as its chief executive officer in 1997 but not charged in the case. The fraud led to $1.7 billion in federal penalties, which was then the largest healthcare fraud settlement in U.S. history.

1. K&R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

2. remember all those brand new cars found in remote Fla. state owned parking lots.

No one ever checked where they were going, or who 'managed' those state owned cars. Florida has a pipeline of freight air flights to SA and all the close islands. Plenty of sea shipping too.

All the states probably have high corruption as no one checks or audits the state govs. Just last year a Ill. ? state 'small time' comptroller stole millions of dollars over several years.

No one noticed for years. And that's just ONE person caught.
