This just @#$%(_! pisses me off…
A Texas mental health clinic owner was convicted by a federal jury after prosecutors said he orchestrated a $26 million scheme to defraud the military’s health care program, using some of the proceeds to fund luxury purchases, including a gold-plated Tesla Cybertruck worth more than $100,000.
Kevin D. Curry, 64, of Frisco, was found guilty Thursday in federal court in Fort Worth on three counts of health care fraud, three counts of offering and paying illegal health care kickbacks and three counts of engaging in monetary transactions in criminally derived property, according to the Justice Department.
Federal prosecutors said Curry exploited TRICARE, the health care program serving active-duty servicemembers, retirees and their families, by billing for transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, therapy that was medically unnecessary or, in many cases, never provided.

It’s hard enough for veterans and active duty to get ‘good’ care, and for some scumbag like this to prey on not only veterans, but active duty members, is just…
I’m not going to say what I’m thinking, but a rope and a tree limb would be good with me…
There aren’t enough inspectors to look at all the treatments people are getting, and that is why crap like this keeps getting through. I’ll bet there will also be some other indictments coming down, probably including at least one or two ‘inside’ people, considering the amounts of money being thrown around.
But for us veterans, we have to jump through hoop after hoop, literally taking months to get treatment. I truly hope this scumbag gets 90 years in prison pour encourager les autres, if you know what I mean.
26 MILLION dollars (or even a third of it) would pay for a LOT of “Inspectors” to prevent such fraud…and those inspectors would likely find even more than the $26 million if they looked.
OldNFO, I wish I had a horse to provide you along with the tree and rope. Maybe I could borrow one from my neighbors.
