Nurse practitioner sentenced to 3 years for role in $400M compound pharmacy scheme

[TexasTowelie]

HATTIESBURG -- Susan Perry, a former nurse practitioner who faced 13 federal charges in a more than $400 million compound pharmacy scheme, was sentenced Thursday to 3½ years in prison.

She also was ordered to pay $1.37 million in restitution related to the scheme that defrauded the government and health insurance companies. She also must serve three years of supervised release.

"This is not a victimless crime," U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett said. "Many people are affected by this in addition to the taxpayers. This wouldn't have happened if you didn't do what you did."

Starrett said even though she had led an exemplary life before getting involved in the scheme, she needed to accept responsibility for her crime.

1. Big involved scam. The only thing the article doesn't explain is ...

how much of the potential $400 million the culprets actually got their hands on.

Somehow I don't think justice is served if this one participant serves three years, reimberses $1.37M and walks out with millions in her accounts.

2. MILLIONAIRES

She has millions for her effort. She serves a few years in prison for her crime. She reports for a few years for her crime. She retires to parts unknown as a millionaire. I would think she has 50 million for her effort. Where is the all the money?? They were smart to bank it off shore until they were caught. The criminals are happy and rich.......SAD
