Michael Tripoli, 48, of Rochester, has been arrested for fraudulently collecting more than $9,200 in workers’ compensation benefits. He was charged with insurance fraud and workers’ comp fraud. Tripoli reportedly began collecting benefits after suffering a job-related arm and shoulder injury in January 2007. He reportedly claimed he could not work because of the injury, but was later discovered working as a painting sub-contractor throughout 2007 and 2008.
If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison.

Truth be told, there probably are thousands of these types of cases floating around. Tens of thousands. The Feds send tens of millions to places where it really is not needed.
debt negotiation,
I agree with ya 100 percent! If we spent half our efforts/money on fixing the health care system in this country and cracking down (hiring more investigators and making stiffer penalties) more on fraud, things would definitely be better for all of us.
