Those of us who remember May 2011 when L. Lin Wood left Bryan Cave LLP and suddenly created a small law firm in less than three weeks. Why we all asked? As one poster here on Rose Speaks.com said, “Looks like he sees a way to make millions of dollars.” Yes but how?
Wood had agreed with attorney Marlan Wilbanks to leave Bryan Cave set up new offices and toss his hat into the Qui Tam Action against accusing dialysis providers DaVita, Inc. and
Gambro Healthcare, Inc. of deliberately wasting hundreds of millions of dollars of medications in order to fraudulently boost reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid. That folks is illegal but the people involved in this suit, don’t have criminal charges pending they are involved in a Civil Federal Suit of “Qui Tam Action”.
What does that mean? Let’s start with the definition of “Qui Tam Action”.
Qui tam action (kwee tam) n. Latin for who as well, a lawsuit brought by a private citizen (popularly called a “whistle blower”) against a person or company who is believed to have violated the law in the performance of a contract with the government or in violation of a government regulation, when there is a statute which provides for a penalty for such violations. Qui tam suits are brought for “the government as well as the plaintiff.” In a qui tam action the plaintiff (the person bringing the suit) will be entitled to a percentage of the recovery of the penalty (which may include large amounts for breach of contract) as a reward for exposing the wrong-doing and recovering funds for the government. Sometimes the federal or state government will intervene and become a party to the suit in order to guarantee success and be part of any negotiations and conduct of the case. This type of action is generally based on significant violations which involve fraudulent or criminal acts, and not technical violations and/or errors.
MEDICARE FRAUD!!!! In days of yesteryear “the federal or state government will intervene and become a party to the suit in order to guarantee success and be part of any negotiations and conduct of the case,” happened and “We the people” never knew what the hell was going on because the records were seal.
NO MORE until a case at least gets to this stage, now while our U. S. Congress is trying to cut benefits to those Americans who receive Medicare and/or Medicaid in services, doctors visits, in-patient care and on and on and on, these corporations have in the past been slapped in the past with a fine, and THE RECORDS SEALED. No more now we get to follow these cases and call our congressional representatives and ask them WTF??? Do they get contributions from these large corporations or perhaps it goes into the hole of the new “Super Pacs”, and in the vacuum we have no way of knowing which members of congress are aware, has been aware in the past and has done the old political trick of wink wink, don’t listen to what I say to the voter.
Here are the papers for you to read, and like me GET MAD AS HELL THIS IS GOING ON AND HAS BEEN FOR EONS, MEDICARE FRAUD IS NOT THE LITTLE OLD MAN OR WOMAN FIGHTING FOR PAYMENTS TO DOCTORS, MEDICARE FRAUD IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THIS CASE!!!!
July 25, 2011 Fourth Amended Petition (452)
March 2, 2012 Court Order Denying in Part Defendants Motion to Dismiss (368)
Here is as close to a lay person description as we can get:
According to the suit, the companies designed multiple sets of directly conflicting internal protocols dictating how specific drugs should be administered based on how the costs for such drugs were reimbursed by the government. The suit also charges that these “dosing grids” were designed to increase volume rebates and discounts to the defendants from the manufacturers of the medications.
“The complaint makes clear that for years, DaVita has used different sets of rules to game the Medicare system and illegally inflate their government reimbursements at taxpayer and patient expense,” said L. Lin Wood, attorney for the whistle blowers.
“Taxpayers and patients should feel a sense of outrage when they read the complaint and learn how DaVita has become a multi-billion dollar business due in large part to corporate strategies and protocols focused on extracting every dollar possible from the government rather than on improving the care of chronically ill patients.”
The scheme centered on three drugs routinely administered to patients during dialysis: Venofer, an iron supplement; Zemplar, a vitamin D analog; and Epogen, a glycoprotein hormone also known as EPO.
In the case of Venofer and Zemplar, the government reimbursed the defendants for “necessary wastage,” such as medication that remained in a vial after the vial dose was administered. The internal protocols developed and mandated by DaVita and the others named in the suit were explicit about the vial sizes employees were required to use and whether vials could be entered with a needle more than once to extract the contents. According to the suit, these protocols were designed to maximize the amount of drug wasted because the government paid DaVita for the amount of drug administered to the dialysis patients and the amount intentionally wasted and thrown away.
For example, instead of using three 2 mcg vials to administer a 6 mcg dose of Zemplar with no waste, DaVita’s protocols required employees to use a 10 mcg vial. The patient received 6 mcgs, and the remaining 4 mcgs were discarded but still billed to the government. Medicare unknowingly paid DaVita for all 10 mcgs in the vial, including the 4 mcgs of wasted medication that ended up in DaVita’s trash cans thousands of times each week from 2003 through the end of 2010 at its hundreds of centers across the United States.
Reimbursement rules for Epogen, on the other hand, made clear that no waste would be
reimbursed. As a result, the DaVita dosing grids were formulated to guarantee that every
available drop of medication in every vial was used and billed for, including any excess
medication, or overfill, for which they had not paid.
On January 1, 2011, Medicare guidelines were changed to halt all payments for wasted drugs.
According to the suit, DaVita immediately put in place new protocols that effectively eliminated iron waste and significantly reduced Vitamin D waste.
“When the reimbursement rules changed on January 1, 2011, the protocols that mandated the
unnecessary waste of Venofer and Zemplar stopped as well.”
“This had nothing to do with a New Year’s resolution to be more efficient but had everything to do with how money drives corporate practices and protocols at DaVita.”
Denver-based DaVita, which is currently the second largest independent provider of dialysis services for second largest independent provider of dialysis services, acquired Gambro’s dialysis clinics in the U.S. in 2005. According to the suit, DaVita and Gambro engaged in similar fraudulent practices prior to the merger. Afterward, DaVita selectively implemented additional fraudulent practices at the clinics it acquired and adopted some of Gambro’s wrongful practices and procedures at its own legacy facilities.
The suit alleges that the post-merger goals of DaVita were to increase wastage whenever possible for Vitamin D and iron drugs where the government paid for the wastage while ensuring that there was no waste of EPO. To accomplish this goal, the suit provides evidence of totally contradictory internal protocols that were used on most, if not all, of the 100,000-plus patients who receive dialysis treatments at DaVita centers across the United States.
The suit was filed on behalf of the U.S. government under the False Claims Act in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by a former Gambro/DaVita clinic director, Daniel D. Barbir, R.N., and Alon J. Vainer, M.D., a nephrologist who served as Medical Director of Gambro and DaVita dialysis clinics in Georgia.
So if someone in your family is on Medicare, it is time to be angry, very angry and to began to ask some tough questions of our members of congress of how one company could be fined and just do it again, and again and again. Any of us would be heading to jail. Thank God for this doctor and nurse who took a stand for their patients.

After the surprise unanimous ruling of the the U. S. Supreme Court last week that police must get a warrant before using GPS trackers attached to a vehicle of a suspect or “target”, police and private detectives have been asked their thoughts.
The Denver Post picked up the New York Times article:
“Only yesterday it was the exotic stuff of spy shows: Flip on a computer, and track the enemy’s speeding car.
But today, anyone with $300 can compete with Jack Bauer. Online, and soon in big-box stores, you can buy a device no bigger than a cigarette pack, attach it to a car without the driver’s knowledge, and watch the vehicle’s travels — and stops — at home on your laptop.
Tens of thousands of Americans are already doing just that, with little oversight, for purposes as seemingly benign as tracking an elderly parent with dementia or a risky teenage driver, or as legally and ethically charged as spying on a spouse or an employee — or for outright criminal stalking.
Last Monday, [January 23, 2012], in a decision seen as a first step toward setting boundaries for law enforcement, the Supreme Court held that under the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, placing a Global Positioning System tracker on a vehicle is a search. Police departments across the country say they will be more likely to seek judicial approval before using the devices, if they were not already doing so.
Still, sales of GPS trackers to employers and individuals, for a multitude of largely unregulated uses, are growing fast, raising questions about privacy and a legal system that has not kept pace with technology.
This easy tool for recording a person’s every move is a powerful one that, when misused, amounts to ‘electronic stalking’.
“That, to the victim, is just as terrifying as seeing your face in the window at night before they go to bed,” said John J. Nazarian, who heads an investigation agency based in Los Angeles.”
We are going to began covering the John Edwards case tomorrow with the legal documents.

Just five days before a trial was to begin in which long time companion Darla Lexington was suing the Estate of John O’Quinn. It appears everyone was happy after a four hour mediation meeting between the attorneys resulted in a sealed out of court settlement.
The Texas Lawyer announced the settlement late today.
“This afternoon, Darla Lexington, the longtime companion of prominent Houston plaintiffs lawyer John O’Quinn, settled her dispute with O’Quinn’s estate and the John M. O’Quinn Foundation over assets from his estate. O’Quinn died in an automobile accident in October 2009.
…Lexington sought court orders to force the executor of O’Quinn’s estate to return property she alleged belongs to her because of her common-law marriage to O’Quinn and because she received the property as gifts.
The estate and the foundation, which is the sole beneficiary of the estate in O’Quinn’s will, claimed that Lexington was not entitled to the property because O’Quinn specified in his will that he was not married and he left his estate to the foundation.
…Jimmy Williamson, a partner in Williamson & Rusnak in Houston who represents Lexington, says the terms provide for Lexington and her security. Kathy Patrick, a partner in Gibbs & Bruns in Houston who represents the foundation, could not be reached for immediate comment.
“I’m very happy we came to a mutual agreement and the foundation can go on and honor John,” Lexington said this afternoon.
Executor Gerald Treece, an assistant dean and professor at South Texas College of Law in Houston, said he is pleased with the settlement. “As the person John selected as the executor, I’m very happy to do what was in John’s best interest and also please Darla and the foundation,” Treece said.
The settlement averted what lawyers expected to be a five-week trial beginning on Jan. 9 in Judge Mike Wood’s Probate Court No. 2 in Houston.”
One thing I noticed was the trial was to start in Judge Mike Wood’s Probate Court, the same court that Anna Nicole Smith took on Pierce Marshall!
In other news in Houston Texas today, Jerry Eversole received a break from U.S. District Judge David Hittner who sentenced, the former Precinct 4 commissioner to 3 years probation in a case that could have landed him in federal prison for up to three years and cost him up to $100,000 in fines.
KUHF reported today that Eversole was accused of accepting bribes from developer Michael Surface. The sentence is for lying to a federal investigator about money and lavish gifts the government alleges Eversole received from Surface, a longtime friend, in return for lucrative county contracts.
“Eversole had been charged with conspiracy, accepting a bribe, and making false statements on tax returns in 2003 and 2004. All those charges were dismissed.
…Eversole refused comment on his sentencing and instead, let his attorney Rusty Hardin speak on his behalf. Hardin says he was ready to play hardball with government prosecutors, if need be.
“The judge read a provision in his sentencing memo, in which we took exception, and I said that I thought it was unseemly for the government to seek to have him punished for the counts they chose to dismiss, and that they could have asked for a trial on. We’d let a jury decide and they chose not to do that. And then they wanted the judge to punish him for something they didn’t have the courage to try.”

Next week, July 1996, marks the 15th anniversary of the bomb explosion at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta Georgia, and lawyers for Richard Jewell, who died in 2007, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution final fight might very well be over. A Georgia Court of Appeals ruled last week, and affirmed the dismissal of the libel case against the newspaper could signal that the final fight has ended.
L. Lin Wood Jr., who has represented Richard Jewell in multiple libel suits and upon his death represented his estate, has said he, “Will appeal last week’s adverse decision by the state Court of Appeals.” That would mean that either the Georgia Supreme Court, or even the U.S. Supreme Court, could decide to weigh in. If it gets to the U. S. Supreme Court I predict, with the using of the Court’s interpretation of the First Amendment of Free Speech in regards to campaign contributions by corporations, we could pretty much predict which way they would rule. Thus unless the Georgia Supreme Court takes the case the saga of a hero turned villain by the media has come to a close. Last week’s Court of Appeals ruling, which affirmed the dismissal of the case against the newspaper will be the end of the cases on behalf of Jewell. Lin Wood was dubbed by Dan Rather as the voice of the damned because of this case and other cases Wood became known, such the John & Patsy Ramsey libel cases, in regards to the tragic murder of their young daughter, JonBenét Ramsey.
Wood says his efforts have not been for nothing. “I do believe the Richard Jewell case made a difference. I do believe that responsible members of the media are more cautious now.” He adds, though: “I don’t think it’s deterred Nancy Grace much.”.
I would point out the recent lynching of Casey Anthony for three years before her trial by media such as Grace and others would go a long way of saying some of the infotainment passed as news have not learned much except for Grace’s screeching words of her own first amendment rights to feed the ratings game still ring hollow in many of our ears.

C.J. Lin of the Los Angeles Daily News is reporting that Rep. “Buck” McKeon wants answers in release of suspect in killing at North Hollywood Sears’ lot as outrage after man sought in 2009 shooting skips bail in Puerto Rico continues to grow in California over the teen text murder.
Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Santa Clarita on Tuesday, July 6 2011, in a letter to U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder asked him to investigate the release of the suspected killer of a Granada Hills teen by a Puerto Rican judge despite authorities’ requests to keep him in custody. Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon has asked for information on the release of Zaren Manjikian, who is wanted on suspicion of killing 19-year-old Mike Yepremyan in a Sears parking lot in North Hollywood in November 2009.
Zaren Manjikian allegedly shot Yepremyan in the back of the head over a text message in which he called someone a “bitch,” police said. As we all know since Rose Speaks and the L. A. Times have continued the coverage and after an 18-month investigation, U.S. Marshals tracked Manjikian to an apartment in Puerto Rico and arrested him in May. Authorities asked Puerto Rican Judge Gloria Maynard to hold Manjikian, 23, without bail during extradition proceedings. But Maynard set a bail of $50,000. Manjikian posted 10 percent of it, was released from custody, and promptly disappeared again.
“The action of this judge in Puerto Rico was an affront to law enforcement, effectively nullifying nearly two years of work LAPD detectives put in to capture the killer of Mike Yepremyan,” wrote L. A Councilman Paul Krekorian asked those questions in a letter that Representative McKeon forwarded to U. S. Attorney General Holder. “To ignore a no-bail arrest warrant and extradition request, and to release a murder suspect who is a proven flight risk on absurdly low bail of $50,000, is an abrogation of justice and puts the public at great and unnecessary risk,” Krekorian wrote. “There can be no rational explanation for this bizarre decision by Judge Maynard that would be consistent with the faithful performance of her duties as a judge.”
L. A Councilman Krekorian has also asked U.S. Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer to pressure Puerto Rican officials to catch Manjikian. A motion that Krekorian authored that calls for a federal investigation will likely be heard by the council this week or next.
“There certainly should be a federal probe,” said John Nazarian, the Yepremyans’ private investigator and spokesman. “For the family, it was another devastating blow. “To have Judge Maynard to make such a casual, off-the-cuff decision, is almost criminal. It is a total outrage and a slap in the face of every legitimate judge.”
A second suspect in the case, Vahagn Jurian, has also been charged with murder. Jurian, 23, was arrested during a traffic stop last month, police said. He was ordered to be handed over for trial by California Judge Nudell this week for the teen text murder case. Jurian is suspected of driving the getaway car after Manjikian allegedly shot Yepremyan.
In a text message sent to Mike Yepremyan’s girlfriend, Yepremyan called his girlfriend’s friend, Kat Vardanian, a bitch, said Detective Richard Wheeler of LAPD North Hollywood Division. Vardanian was with the girlfriend at the time and saw the text message. She memorized his number and began calling family and friends, Wheeler said. Mike Yepremyan began receiving calls from strangers to meet at the Sears parking lot. Manjikian and Jurian met him there, Wheeler said.
Art Yepremyan, Mike’s father, said he was glad to hear of the possibility of a federal investigation. He was still trying to comprehend how Manjikian could have been released. “Justice is going to be taken,” Art Yepremyan said. “This was our only son. And he was killed for what?”
John J. Nazarian remains in contact with Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon’s staff at the representative’s Washington D. C. office to monitor the progress of the request for an investigation, in an exclusive comment to Rose Speaks.com Mr. Nazarian remains hopeful that those responsible for the murder of Mike will be brought to justice. John J. Nazarian predicts that more arrests will come.
I am wondering now that Vahagn Jurian has been ordered to stand trial on the murder if this might not be a great chance for him to make a deal with the state and not go down alone for this horrible teen text murder.
Desperate Exes.com also has an article up about Vahagn Jurian being held over for trial on the murder charges well worth a read:

Well here we are going into day three of the prelim and it is nothing short of a war. Day three will be June 30, 2011. The last two have been a battle of two great legal minds, Alex Kessel for the defense and LA Deputy DA Edward Nison for the prosecution. Mr. Kessel has to be in Federal Court on Monday and he and his client, Vahagn Jurian agreed to the June 30 date. For the defense you have one of the best defense attorneys money will buy, Alex Kessel. Funny this is “great” lawyer number two, the first was none other than Anthony Brooklier. How are these retainers being paid, you have to wonder? First we had Khatun ‘Kat’ Vardanian arrested for murder and Brooklier was brought into the case, and now her “cuz” is charged with murder and we have Mr. Kessel. Thousands of dollars are being spent and it is a sunny day for defense lawyers, you have to love these Armenians!
Vahagn Jurian aka “the little guy” aka “shorty” was reported as the driver who assisted in getting the gunmen out of the area after they killed Mike Yepremyan. Yes, I know he did not pull the trigger and it is being presented that he did not know what was going to happen. Now, here is the rub if you will, I go someplace to “talk“ and out of nowhere one of my friends pulls a gun and murders someone!!!! I agree, Holly Shit! Most people would either stay to talk to the police or even render help. Or, here is a good one, go to the nearest police station and tell the cops what had just happened. Not “the short guy,” no siree. Napoleon does what every innocent person does, he flees the scene and then the country, all behavior of an “innocent bystander”…please, who is selling this? Let’s hope that Judge Nudell is not buying it.
Well, (I am channeling Jack Benny here) Judge Karen J. Nudell’s Van Nuys courtroom was given even more testimony as to the issue of “Hand Jobs.” Part of what Mike Yepremyan did not want to say when he initially met with Vahagn and Zareh just before they killed him was he was not happy that his girlfriend was with “The Bitch.” The other issue was that Khatun “Kat” Vardanian was going to some adult store to buy “LUBE”, to use on one of her boyfriend’s wanker!!! It appears she likes to jerk some guy off and likes to make sure all goes smoothly. Folks, I don’t make this stuff up, it was discussed in an open courtroom in Division 112, Van Nuys, California. We have the driver, “Little Shorty” or “The Short One,” “Small One,” Vahagn Jurian going to the aid and honor of his cousin, Khatun ‘Kat’ Vardanian who is shopping for “LUBE” so as to give a nice and smooth “Hand Job“ to her very lucky boyfriend(s).
So, am I to understand clearly that all of this, Mike Yepremyan’s murder, was for one, texting to his girlfriend that Ms. Vardanian was a “bitch“ and now also keep in mind this was a private text message to his girlfriend Danielle. And the back story was also involving “lube“ and “handjobs”? Back in court on June 30th, all we will need is “raincoats” and “umbrellas,” at this pace.
Once again Desperate Exes.com give us a unique view into Divorce Hollywood Style and John J. Nazarian has a new update on the murder of Mike Yepremyan’s latest murder suspect. There are more arrests coming is John J. Nazarian’s prediction.

Lately I have been flooded with “Where is John’s response to the arrest of those responsible for the murder of Mike Yepremyan?” Well it is coming and coming real soon, I am holding off for awhile, but here is a sample, “The Armenian Factor.” What is that you ask? It will be a piece based on my experience and from my perspective of a group known for being liars, cheats and thieves. Got your attention well standby. Here is another truth, I have spoken to well over a dozen American Armenians, get 10 Armenians in a room, 8.25 of them will be ‘bad news’, the other 1.75 will be like the Yepremyans. You know, hard-working people who have real family ties and values…unlike those responsible for the COLD-BLOODED murder of their only son. It is “The Armenian Factor” that so hindered this investigation, that closed ranks to protect killer scum in their midst even though they were responsible for the senseless murder of a “fellow” Armenian.
Zareh Manjikian’s release by that moron in Puerto Rico is an insult to every real judge that ever sat on the bench. Zareh Manjikian was arrested in May in San Juan, Puerto Rico as a suspect involved in the San Fernando Valley murder in 2009 of Hombert “Mike” Yepremyan. Judge Gloria Maynard Salgado of the Research Division for the Puerto Rico Judicial Branch Court ignored an extradition request and a no bail order and allowed for Manjikian to be bailed out on a $50,000 bond on the condition he return to Court. Curiously enough, the Court listed the case as a civil case of miscellaneous criminal matters. Manjikian never returned to Court. For me I would have been happier if Manjikian had been arrested in Mexico…they love catching American killers and holding them, it is like a trophy for our friends in Mexico.
Hello Puerto Rico, THE GOVERNMENT OF THIS ISLAND NEEDS TO IMPEACH THIS MORON, I CANNOT BRING MYSELF TO USE THE WORD, ju*&e, YOU KNOW? No one should ever address this idiot of all idiots as such! None of us could have ever predicted that Manjikian would have gotten away in such a manner. I went public in wondering if there was a pay-off…what else could explain behavior like this? I am still wondering, and you? Can anyone tell me if Her Honor is still taking the bus to work? Or is she now driving a nice shiny new Maserati convertible or perhaps a SL550…let’s all watch!
Well luck has not been too good for Vahagn Jurian, 22 years old, he was arrested for murder by the Federal Bureau of Investigation aka F.B.I. There will be more on this story and his arrest in the weeks to come. When Jurian gets our of prison, BMWs will have wings, we hope. The family has hired a criminal defense lawyer to assist in his defense, (what, “I was not there, I did not run, I did not help the shooter escape and I did not flee the U.S.”?), I am thinking $30,000 which will go fast, real fast.
Our predictions are as follows: it is a new and fresh world since the arrest of Khatun Vardanian, who was arrested for murder and soon after released when the judge decided that the evidence was not “strong enough.” My opinion, that will not be an issue anymore in all future arrests and there will be more to come…I hope that everyone has saved a lot of money for bail and lawyers. For sure the Yepremyans will never be as they were, a wonderful and happy family with great dreams. Those dreams were shattered when their son had to deal with the “The Armenian Factor.”
I have been active in this investigation for a very long time and I have seen it all and heard it all. You know, the LAPD did this or that…folks, the LAPD and Detective Townsend did the best, the very best and were there mistakes? You could call it that if you want to, but let me say this, Detective Thomas Townsend and his team are fast studies and have mastered “The Armenian Factor“ and in doing so will be sending someone or two or ????? to the gray bar motel aka state prison to pay for the murder of Hombert “Mike” Yepremyan.
NEWS UPDATE: DateLine as well as 48 hours are actively pursuing this story for a national audience. Mike is about to get the national press his teen text message murder is just going to continue to be highlighted until a fair trial of the people involved in this has dealt out justice.
Stay tune to what I predict some hard hitting and to the point of the Teen Text Murder of Mike Yepremyan by John J. Nazarian on his Desperate Exes.com site.
