doctor heading to prison

according to the feds...
Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that DAVID TAYLOR, a state-licensed doctor, was convicted by a jury for writing medically unnecessary prescriptions for oxycodone over a five-year period. The verdict followed a one-week jury trial before United States District Court Judge Andrew L. Carter, Jr.
U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said:  “Dr. David Taylor violated his solemn Hippocratic oath to do no harm.  For cash and gifts, Taylor prescribed more than 100,000 oxycodone pills that quickly made its way to the streets of New York City, fueling the opioid epidemic.  Now, Taylor stands convicted and faces 20 years in prison for his crime.” 
According to allegations in the Indictment and evidence introduced at trial:
From January 2012 through at least June 2017, in the Southern District of New York and elsewhere, TAYLOR and others conspired to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute oxycodone.  During this time, TAYLOR operated out of three offices in Staten Island, New York, and prescribed more than 2.6 million 30-milligram oxycodone pills.  In exchange for cash and gifts, TAYLOR wrote prescriptions for over 100,000 oxycodone pills with a street value of more than $2 million for members of the conspiracy whom TAYLOR knew had no legitimate medical need for the drug.  The co-conspirators then illegally sold the oxycodone they obtained from TAYLOR on the streets.
*          *          *
TAYLOR, 75, was convicted of one count of conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute oxycodone, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.  TAYLOR will be sentenced by Judge Carter on April 5, 2019.
Other members of the conspiracy, including VITO GALLICCHIO, 51, NICHOLAS AVICOLLI, 54, DANIEL GARCIA, 57, LAWRENCE MONTALBANO, 52, and DON MICHAEL CARIM, 34, previously pleaded guilty to the same offense.
The maximum potential sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendants will be determined by the judge.
Mr. Berman praised the outstanding investigative work of the DEA’s Tactical Diversion Squad (Group TDS-NY), which comprises agents and officers from the DEA, the New York Police Department, the New York State Police, New York State Department of Financial Services, the New York National Guard, and New York City Department of Investigation.  He also acknowledged the assistance of Health and Human Services-OIG and the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
The case is being prosecuted by the Office’s Narcotics Unit.  Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kiersten A. Fletcher, Justin V. Rodriguez, and Nicolas Roos are in charge of the prosecution.

Michael Cohen under find an inmate It is now official. Michael Cohen is part of  FCI Otisville camp. By now it is sunk in his brain and he is probably getting used to life as an inmate. Stand up counts, lines to eat chow, lines for the phone, lines for emails thru tru links. He may get a job in a week or two, cleaning grounds, kitchen work as a dishwasher, taking out facility garbage, working at ware house unloading a truck. There is no drama at Camp Otisville.  With a 3 year sentence, he should do about half the time at Otisville and then get the rest of the time at a halfway house and then on home confinement.
