Laguna Beach doctor gives up license after hiding millions in overseas account

[TexasTowelie]

A Laguna Beach doctor who pleaded guilty in 2015 to diverting $8 million to an overseas bank can no longer practice medicine.

Baruch Fogel, an obstetrician and gynecologist, agreed to surrender his medical license in a settlement with the California Medical Board, effective this week. The board had accused Fogel of dishonesty and unprofessional conduct stemming from his conviction.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Fogel willfully failed to report on his taxes that he had an account in Luxembourg. He was sentenced to two years probation and ordered to pay restitution and a fine.
