State Directory- FraudIn addition to my current duties as NHLEA Chairperson, for the past seven years ending in January of this year, I was Director of Investigations of the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit of the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office. This law enforcement unit with the Criminal Justice System Reform in America has primary statewide responsibility for the investigation and prosecution of instances of elder/vulnerable individual abuse or neglect, which takes place in health care facilities such as nursing homes, hospitals, group homes and, to a growing extent, assisted living facilities. While Director of Investigations, I was Chairperson of the Northeast Healthcare Law Enforcement Association, a “first-of-its kind” regional law enforcement unit whose mission was to enhance the vigorous investigation and prosecution of’ instances of elder/patient abuse and provider health care fraud in all the New England states, New York and New Jersey. Prior to this, for five years, I was a prosecutor with the Federal Trade Commission and the Massachusetts Office of Attorney General working in consumer protection law enforcement prosecutions affecting our elder citizens.
- Corporate Law7. Law Enforcement/Regulatory Protection: One of the great societal challenges facing our country will be the protection of the financial and health care futures of vulnerable elder Americans and increasingly vulnerable aging baby boomers. On the rise and fast becoming the most prevalent type of crime committed against the elderly are cases involving financial exploitation by perpetrators who are relatives, business professionals/institutions, con artists and caregivers. As we have seen with what is happening to the US Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, far more ominous, in recent years, we have witnessed tens of thousands of boomers’ private pensions/410K’s being wiped out and/or severely depleted because of poor corporate governance practices and/or corporate accounting shenanigans, greed, corruption and “old fashioned” criminal behavior.
