Clinton pharmacist will head to prison in compound pharmacy scheme

[TexasTowelie]

Former pharmacist Silas Richmond II, 33, of Clinton, one of 12 people charged in a multistate, $400 million compound pharmacy scheme, was sentenced Tuesday at William M. Colmer Federal Courthouse in Hattiesburg to 16 months in prison and three years of post-release supervision.

U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett did not fine Richmond, but said he must pay restitution of $354,957.43 and interest would be waived.

Richmond pleaded guilty July 18 to conspiracy to commit health care fraud of more than $545,000.

He is listed as a 2010 graduate of the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy.

1. Your title bashes democrats.

Come on ????

2. Come on? Really?

The pharmacist is from Clinton, Mississippi (stated in the first sentence) and I used the exact title of the article. You are really stretching it to say I'm bashing Democrats, but you can send an alert if you believe that is the case. If it should somehow result in a hide then I'll appeal it.

3. Someone needs coffee?

I saw this and thought briefly of making some sarcastic "there go the clinton's again" remark but was worried that would cross a line...

Maybe I'm not awake yet. I need some coffee.

4. It's just another DU geography quiz with another level of ambiguity.

Let's see-Clinton. Person, place, or thing ? Last night I didn't figure out PTB for half an hour. Oh well, it gives me something to do.

5. i didn't alert on it, but you could have put Clinton Mississippi in your heading.

Thats all. I did read down and saw it was not the Clinton family. I enjoy the effort you put in every day here.

6. Thank you, and I fully support both Bill and Hillary Clinton so I would never bash them.

I didn't feel that it was necessary to insert the state name in the title since the thread was in the Mississippi Group.

I'm glad that the Internet wasn't around in 1960. There are a Nixon, Texas and a Kenedy, Texas (one "n" only) that are within 50 miles of each other.
