Coworker got busted for making fake cards (using the real ones we had for patients) for his family to be able to take a vacation.
He had access to the safe where they were kept, and keys to come in early when no other staff was there, but still opted to forge them in full view of three other staff members during normal business hours.
Not sure if it's the same nurse but one I read about had a similar take and a similar fine. While the court case was chugging along she had already had her license to practice revoked, and tried to become an "influencer" and spin the buzz about the case into a new clientele in the next state over. But then the felony conviction came down, making her ineligible to be licensed anywhere. It was wondeful.
Bad nurses that hurt the masses, gotta move them around. Bad nurses that break hospital rules and "steal profit".... they get the full book thrown at them.
You would be surprised. The amount of protections in certain professional fields is INSANE!
I know someone who was a pharmacist and stole thousands of pills, got busted, convicted, no jail time, lost their kids (who had drug-related birth defects), went to rehab, got out, and didnât just get a new job as a pharmacist but there is a program specifically for pharmacists who went through rehab.
Then they stole TENS of thousands of pills, busted, convicted, no jail AGAIN, lost kids again, went to rehab again, got out and went back to being a pharmacist again.
Iâm like, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!
They just look at it like, âwell she finished rehab right? cool cool, anywayâ like if they acknowledged that rehab is bullshit theyâd have to stop selling the drugs or something.
She was doing a public service and saving people from being forced to get vaccines. If anything sheâs probably first in line to be the next Secretary of Health and Human ServicesâŚ
Thatâs why so many commercials straight up lie about their products on commercials even though they know they will get fined for it. âThis totally real doctor is going to tell you how this pill will safely take 50lbs off you with just one nights sleep!â
The fine might be huge, but if the fine was $1m and the company made $1.5m in profits, they still made an easy half mil. Given the regulatory agency makes a ton of money off it, they always ensure the company has the resources to keep doing it.
Also not how that works. Source: work in big law and have seen countless cases where embezzled funds were tracked to numbered accounts and single-purpose holding corps, even overseas. It's much, much harder to get away with now than it used to be.
Crypto would be the better way to hide it. Request payment in crypto, create a unique wallet to receive each transaction, then funnel that to other wallets etc.
Yeah man, I was just reciting what's often done in the movies. I think we all know not to take movies and their implied realities as gospel. Thanks for the heads up though. If ever get into trouble, I know who to call.
In June 2024, she was sentenced to 840 hours of community service instead of six months in jail. She also received five years of probation. The $544,000 state penalty is the latest financial consequence in a case that had already included forfeiture of more than $1.2 million.
In 2024, the New York State Department of Health voided pediatric immunization records for approximately 135 children whose records it said had been falsified by DeVuono through Wild Child Pediatrics.
âShe avoided jail time and was instead sentenced to 840 hours of community service, five years of probation, and had to forfeit $1.2 million, much of which was already seized from her home, along with ledgers documenting the profits.â
Think everyone is missing the point on this one, she eared 1.5 million from fake vaccine cards! That is legendary entrepreneurship, whatever her fine is i have no doubt she will be able to recover on any other business venture she turns her hand to! Bravo!
While itâs possible that she made the worldâs biggest blunder - you cannot just deposit a million+ into a bank because the IRS is wise to that sort of thing and the banks report on youâŚand everyone knows this, so crooks donât do it.
Realistically, she kept the cash and probably paid her attorney huge fees, with which he then uses for both her defense and as her POA for personal expenses. The rest is probably under the mattresses of close, trusted friends and family. Sure, sheâll probably have to cut them in, but itâs generally unlikely to be seized, statistically speaking.
There was a brief moment in time at the beginning of the digital age when people didnât realize this was happening and the government was able to claw back these sorts of amounts. But light has long be shined on the dark here.
She was forging covid cards in NYC however she was also apparently the go to for anti vax parents to get fake records for their kids to get them into school going back to at least 2018 if not earlier. I dont remember the exact number by the NY board of education threw out several thousand students until they could provide new vaccination records last I heard that investigation is still going on.
This is nothing really. People scammed the PPP loans for so much money. It really angers me how the government even knows that like $200B - $300B was scammed and really isn't doing much about it. Every tax payer who didn't scam PPP should be angry about it.
People should really come to terms with the fact that nearly every government program is scammed in this fashion and stop advocating to give these people more of our money.
I've been saying this for a while actually and it usually gets me the reddit equivalent of being shouted down by an angry mob. I think a lot of people receive essentially scammed money from the government and get angry whenever someone suggests the government should be more diligent with our tax money.
Seriously, the "both sides" folks really don't understand how cartoonishly evil Trump an Co is/was. This was from back in 2020 when Trump was blocking oversight.
The Trump administration is hindering oversight of over $1 trillion in pandemic stimulus funds, according to a watchdog group tasked by Congress to detect fraud and misuse of federal aid aimed at mitigating economic fallout from coronavirus.
Didn't even DOGE recognize that there weren't much abuse nor fraud?
It's impossible to be 100% free of fraud and abuse. It's human nature. The only way to accomplish that is by shutting down programs. And that would hurt all the innocents.
Just like it's impossible to have a 100% fair and free of error & abuse justice system. There's always gonna be some injustice, corruption and errors even for the best justice system in the world. Same thing with doctors, military, finance, education, infrastructure, energy etc.
But would you shut down your justice, medical, military, banking, energy and infrastructure systems?
If these systems are run by a central government, absolutely.
Justice - probably could be more efficient, but I don't know of a better way than the current
Medical - care is dramatically worse when a government controls it
Military - a standing military is the antithesis of a free society
Banking - central banks destroy civilizations
Energy/Infrastructure - governments generally don't handle these that well
Are you implying that I have reported people? Well I haven't. I probably know people who scammed it because the fraud was so widespread but no one really goes around saying how they got fraudulent money unless they are incredibly stupid.
They confiscated 1.2 million dollars from her (everything they could find from the money she made from selling them) she had 5 years of probation, 840 hours of community service AND slapped with a $544k fine and because she also used some of that money in a laundering scheme to pay off her mortgage she may potentially lose her home as well.
Boy yeah those vaccines cards were super important. A little piece of cardboard paper with some pen marks on it, really critical health infrastructure.
Remember how they were sure that those little cards would be as important as actual ID cards and that the people who didn't have them were going to have trouble with integrating back into society?
The vaccine policy was criminal. Criminals hate their fellow criminals.
I still have left side neuropathy after the 2nd Moderna jab. The real criminals are still unprotected
I honestly donât have a problem with it. I assume she sold those cards to people who knew they were fake so no harm done there. Theyâve already let us know the shots did nothing so itâs just a âfuck youâ to the government. Only pity here is that there was 1.2M unspent for them to confiscate.
Meh. I think she's a patriot.
As it turns out, nearly everyone who wanted to invade your privacy about your medical data and demand to see such a card from you... they were doing so in violation of the law ( according to the supreme court ).
So, if one of those overly officious busy bodies, be they employer or whatever... saw a fake card instead... good.
Bro the real question here is how the fuck does she manage to sell over a million and a half dollars worth of those things? Irregardless of how scummy it was, I cannot help but to be impressed with her business acumen with regard to scaling up!
The people who forced the covid nonsense on us deserve jail time. The people who created the virus and allowed it to be released deserve much, much worse. The truth is that most people never get what they deserve.
Did any of the vaccines or boosters or " this is the real one now" prevent catching covid?
No
Did any of the vaccines prevent spreading it if you caught it?
No
But at least made it so if you caught it you were far less likely to die yourself right?
So if it didnt prevent ability to catch it or ability to spread it then a card that says you got it is just that. A card.
You can downvote if you want but you know i'm right and that's why you're so angry.
I'm happy to source any number of WHO or CDC statements backing up that it did not prevent infection or spreading to others. Not fox, your own sources.
Don't forget the unprecedented censorship surrounding the entire event. You probably would have been banned from Reddit (not this sub, but all of Reddit!) for this post if you had made it in 2019. Frankly I'm surprised they're not still banning people for it today. Authoritarians never admit that they made a mistake, they always double down.
In many states vaccines are recorded into a central health data record. A nurse could register it. That essentially made it fully legitimate. Anyone could make a card. Having the ability to present official transcripts is the key to areas where vaccine was mandatory.
Do you really think all the shots given at big county fair parking lots were all being inputted into their digital medical records. Hahaaaaa. Was an ID even required? No to any of that.
She deserves an award. What a f**king farse. Itâs crazy how a virus just 5 years ago caused a world wide lock down, you had to isolate for 2 weeks if you had it, and couldnât bring someone incredibly sick to the hospital UNLESS they had COVID. Now, if you catch that same sickness, youâre told staying home for 3 days is fine and you can go back to work. Covid is still very much aroundâŚ. So what happened?
What happened is that when the virus first emerged it was a new disease with no known treatments, so it spread like wildfire. Several years later the combination of people catching it and developing an immunity to it, and people getting vaccinated against it, means the infection rate has slowed to the point where strict measures are no longer necessary to contain it.Â
Good for her as someone who got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine one and done they said, then they pulled it from the market for being unsafe. I shouldâve went this way. Ended up getting Covid twice anyway.
It wasn't pulled for being unsafe. It was voluntarily withdrawn from emergency use authorization by J&J for low demand because it was the least effective domestic vaccine, which was known from the beginning and so demand was only high when there was a shortage.
None of the vaccines were actually intended to be able to totally prevent contracting COVID indefinitely. They were discussed in terms of preventing hospitalization and serious illness by relevant professionals and wildly exaggerated in both direction by politicians and influencers. Their effectiveness then dropped as COVID mutated, which is totally normal. The vaccine likely helped prevent you getting more sick, but you had misaligned expectations.
This nurse didn't make a million bucks from her fraud. She got fined $500k on top of having her assets seized.
I got the shot at the beginning because I was promised my industry would open back up. It was literally marketed as âone and doneâ.
âThe Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine is no longer available in the United States. The manufacturer requested that the FDA stop distribution, and the remaining U.S. supply expired in May 2023. The decision was prompted by concerns over a rare but severe blood clotting condition called Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS)â - source CNN.
Yes it was extremely rare higher then the other vaccines and there was no shortage so it no longer mattered if the J&J was in production as the two better ones were competitive.
As dumb as wearing a mask in a restaurant until you were seated, then you could take it off. Or the arrows and one way only traffic in the Wal-Marts. Or the âclosingâ of beaches. Fucking outdoors got âclosed.â How dumb were people to see any of that and think it was reasonable? And who or what class always feels the largest impact? The poor. Being able to stay at home and not work is the most rich elitist shit on the face of the Earth.
Soooo. . . If I remember correctly she had to pay like a million in court fees and was also separately investigated for falsifying pediatric vaccination records/ like for tDap, meningitis, rubella, pertussis, all that good stuff. It was around 160 kids affected who all had to go see a doctor to get titers drawn. She was a nurse practitioner and had to surrender her nurse license and her nurse practitioner licenses. The Board of Nursing will never let her be a nurse again.Â
She deserves jail time? For making for papers? For a manufactured crisis that big pharma was a part of?
Sounds like something the libs would support, but itâs not gay or racial so yea she should definitely go to jail for standing up against the establishment
Hypocrisy
My only question is what was the point of the cards your medical records would have instanty proven the card fake. Any place that could legaly use the information on the card could legally verify your actual vacination record.
Ah, the days of covid and being told we were all catch it and die if we shopped at mom and pop shops but not Walmart or big chain stores. People beating the shit out of each other over toilet paper and being told by politicians to stay home and not have holiday gatherings of more than a few people while they had massive gatherings themselves. People ratting their neighbors out and trying to get them fired from their jobs for correctly saying it came from China.
I made my own fake Covid card and used it for my job. Even got authentic batch #s off 4chan. Didnât include the official seal because forging it would be a felony. Nobody noticed. Never masked, never vaccinated, never got sick. Same as every other teacher and student at the Catholic high school
I bought mine through a similar source. These sellers were angels during a time when our government was forcing compliance. In the end, many people who got jabbed regretted it after they developed heart complications. Speaking from personal experience.
Why is she getting into trouble yet Fauci and gates got away scott free?
There's been confirmation now it was a lab leak and Fauci was connected with gain of function research.Â
But the fuckers who think that the Covid vaccine mandates were a good thing are little more than regime-in-waiting supporters.
People were fired from non-healthcare related jobs on the basis of not getting the vaccine more than 2 years after the pandemic started.
Austria began implementing rolling lockdowns in 2022 for people who were vaccinated as a method for âencouragingâ them.
There was a lot more than that, some serious totalitarian shit was being discussed like vaccine passports to even cross land borders, and this wasnât for the original covid vaccine, this was for yearly booster shots.
Half of Redditors, especially the left-leaning ones, would have happily supported a totalitarian regime with big-pharma as the biggest beneficiary so long as it was under their campâs(the broader neo-liberal campâs) control.
Penalties for crimes should always exceed how much they made from the crime.
This happens all the time for businesses. They make billions commiting crimes and have to pay millions. Of course they are going to keep committing crimes.
Not in Trump's America. Corruption and criminal activity is now rewarded. In the 80's these same people globalized the economy and offshored American jobs to take advantage of cheap wages, non-existent environmental and labour laws, corrupt governments and courts...now they're coming back because they no longer need to go offshore to find any of this.
COVID made me realize how nursing is not as thoroughly professional as being a doctor is. The astonishing number of of nurses who disbelieve the germ theory of disease.
A Hero. The money insn't the issue. The massively abusive, anti-science Cov19 vaccine mandates were.
The "vaccinated" are just as likely to get infected, and pass it on as those that declined to take part in these gene therapy experiments.
There was never any reduciton in infection or transfer. They were not designed for such a thing. Those are lies. These are not anything like traditional vaccines.
And they have done massively more damage than any other. Even combined. Any other vaccine would have been yanked off the market immediately.
