The psychologist who helped pull off the biggest Social Security fraud in U.S. history was sentenced Friday to 25 years in prison.
Alfred Bradley Adkins was part of the fraud ring orchestrated by Eric C. Conn, one of the countrys most prominent disability lawyers, and David B. Daugherty, a Social Security judge who rubber-stamped at least 1,700 bogus applications for benefits.
All told, the scam would have cost the government at least $600 million in fraudulent lifetime benefits, according to the governments conservative estimate. Some $93 million were already paid out before the scam was stopped, the government said.
Judge Danny C. Reeves, sitting in Kentucky, delivered the 25-year sentence in court Friday, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported. Thats a stiffer sentence than either Conn, who got 12 years, or Daugherty, who got four years, and its also more than the penalty the government had been seeking.

Looks like Adkins got what he deserved as Conn should have for ripping off taxpayers with this SS fraud

Yep tip of the iceberg. Big reason the Democrats don’t want the Graham bill they would actually have to manage and ferret out corruption on their own, they want no part of that.

I’m afraid you’re right, all fraudsters can see are dollar signs and they steal plenty.

How many who made bogus claims are still getting paid? Shouldn’t they get prosecuted too?

The judge took a plea deal and cooperated with the prosecutors. The shrink went to trial and was convicted. The POS lawyer also took a plea deal, then cut off his ankle monitor before his sentencing hearing and is now on the lam.

“Eric C. Conn”
Must have been a real ‘struggle’ to get a warrant to watch him.
Name changes are EASY, at least if you get them before you start defrauding people.

“the whole disability scheme is a scam....”
-
I saw something about 10 years ago about an area of the country where virtually every child was “diagnosed” with anxiety,ADHD,and learning disabilities.
They all collected SSI,which were called,humorously, “the crazy checks” by the folks in the area,including the kids.
