Rick Scotts Blind Trust Wasnt Blind
October 17, 2018 at 11:08 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
But an examination of Mr. Scotts finances shows that his trust has been blind in name only. There have been numerous ways for him to have knowledge about his holdings: Among other things, he transferred many assets to his wife and neither blinded nor disclosed them. And their investments have included corporations, partnerships and funds that stood to benefit from his administrations actions.
Only in late July, when compelled by ethics rules for Senate candidates, did Mr. Scott disclose his wifes holdings. That report revealed that his wife, Ann Scott, an interior decorator by trade, controlled accounts that might exceed the value of her husbands. Their equity investments largely mirrored each other, meaning that Mr. Scott could, if he wanted, track his own holdings by following his wifes.

his CEOing the Corp that paid the biggest fine for fraud against Medicare ever...

Its no wonder his nickname here is Voldemort evil personified.
