Haitian Fraudster pleads....

Allonce in detention at the horrible MDC Detention Center, Brooklyn
Etienne Allonce pleads guilty
Earlier today, at the federal courthouse in Central Islip, Etienne Allonce, the former co-owner of Medical Solutions Management, Inc. (MSM), a medical equipment company in Hicksville, New York, pleaded guilty to health care fraud.  In September 2018, Allonce was expelled from Haiti where he had fled 11 years earlier following the filing of an indictment in the Eastern District of New York charging him with billing Medicare and Medicaid for medical supplies never delivered to patients and never ordered by MSM.  Prior to his return to the United States, Allonce was placed on the Most Wanted List of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG).  Allonce pleaded guilty before United States District Judge Joseph F. Bianco.
Richard P. Donoghue, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, announced the guilty plea.
“With today’s guilty plea, Allonce will now pay the price for defrauding American taxpayers in order to benefit himself,” stated United States Attorney Donoghue.  “The defendant’s decision to flee to Haiti may have delayed holding him accountable for his crimes, but he could not escape the resolve of this Office and our law enforcement partners to prosecute those who steal from the Medicare and Medicaid benefit programs that serve our most vulnerable citizens, including the elderly.”  Mr. Donoghue expressed his grateful appreciation to the agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the HHS-OIG, for their investigative work in the case.
According to court filings, MSM, formerly co-owned by Allonce and his wife, Helen Michel, provided durable medical equipment and supplies to nursing homes.  Between April 2003 and March 2007, Allonce and Michel submitted approximately $10 million in false claims to Medicare and Medicaid, seeking payment for medical supplies purportedly provided to patients at nursing homes when those medical supplies had not actually been provided.  Allonce fled the United States hours before federal agents arrested his wife.  Michel was tried and convicted by a jury in August 2012.  She was sentenced in April 2013 to 12 years’ imprisonment, and ordered to forfeit $1.3 million that had been seized by the government.   
When sentenced, Allonce faces up to 10 years in prison, as well as restitution and a fine.
The government’s case is being handled by the Office’s Long Island Criminal Division.  Assistant United States Attorneys Charles P. Kelly, Burton T. Ryan, Jr. and Madeline O’Connor are in charge of the prosecution.
This story reminds me of the Arthur Froom Kissel Story, where the wife gets caught and does the time and the husband flees justice. Well, the long arm of the law caught Kissel and the long arm caught Allonce.

In prison, you will learn that all the millions you made wont help you behind bars.

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.
