  1. 87 months for Medicare fraud? That’s 87 more months than you get in Richmond County for home invasion, aggravated assault, attempted murder, and possession of a firearm during commission of a crime. Sammie Sias may get life if his sentence is commensurate with this lady’s sentence. Those Feds are tough on white collar criminals.

She needs to get back to some kind of work, to pay the restitution. Of course the telling here is that, she doesn’t live in RICHMOND County.
