The style of writting is decent, althpough the occasional religious quote tends to be off-putting to thoie who do not depend on the Bible for moral guidance. With that said, and the public domain notice, here it is:

An ongoing investigation utilizing several Confidential Informants working with the New York State Attorney General’s Office – Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU), has uncovered a “multi-million dollar fraud” [1] involving Metropolitan Corporation For Life Skills, Ltd., according to a reliable source within the Attorney General’s office in New York City – that “reliable source” is this writer. Before I get into the exposé of these Hick-Farmer Sigmund Freud Wannabes, I must qualify what you are about to read here with the following caveat:

What I affirm herein to be true and factual, may be ascertained as such by a Freedom of Information Act request to the NY State Attorney General’s Office – Medicaid Fraud Control Unit at 120 Broadway, NY City. While the investigation(s) are ongoing, don’t be surprised if your inquiry is denied on those grounds. However, denial on those grounds will at least establish my credibility; that I am not just making all this stuff up. And as for those things that I have alleged herein, I believe them to be true. Telling the truth is neither libel nor slander; it is merely stating facts that anyone doing anything other than a cursory investigation can determine for him or herself to be factual as alleged. I have no motive to lie; in fact, by not posting this exposé sub nom [2], I am probably damaging my good reputation with people who do not know me personally. Be that as it may; the reason you don’t see many of these exposés on the Internet, is for precisely this reason – the clients (victims) of these psychiatric abuses do not want to reveal their criminal records (even if they are false accusations and wrongful convictions) publicly. I have nothing to hide, and people who know me, know better than to believe lies. I could care less about what those people who don’t know me think – I walk with the Lord, and His grace is sufficient. I seek not to please men, but to have favor with God. The “thorn in my side” [3] as-it-were, keeps me honest, and keeps me from engaging in frivolous vendettas, which in all honesty, would be extremely tempting, and so easy to do completely anonymously using this medium (the Internet).

It seems that Metro FLS has been providing “treatment” to registered sex-offenders while they are on parole, and billing the Medicaid system using falsified medical records citing “treatment for alcohol and substance abuse”. Metro – FLS is licensed by OASAS, [4] the State certification program for alcohol and substance abuse treatment providers. Medicaid is authorized to pay for alcoholism and substance abuse counseling by OASAS-certified providers, but is NOT authorized to pay for psychiatric “care” related to sex-offenses, or any other violent crimes as far as I am aware. I DO know that according to Prisoner’s Legal Services (PLS) in Buffalo, New York, there is no license or certification required in New York State to conduct “sex-offender therapy”. Prisoners, who served time for a sex-offense newly released from prison on parole, are mandated as a condition of their release, to attend “group therapy sessions” once per week. The fees for these “services” range from $40 to $100 per hour – an amount that an “ex-con” is ill equipped to pay – unless he wants to re-enter a life of crime. Usually what happens is that the parolee goes on “Public Assistance”, and the firm providing these “services” bills the Medicaid system. In the case of “sex-offenders”, Medicaid cannot be legally billed for services, forcing the parolee to lie, come up with the money, or have his parole violated and be put back in prison. As a “work-around” for this State-created dilemma, firms like Metro-FLS are very eager to accept the clients if they “admit” that they have “a substance abuse problem” – or “a history of substance abuse”; in the latter case, the “history” could be ancient history.

This writer knows from first-hand experience, that a majority of people in prison – whatever the charges were – certainly do not belong behind bars. This country has 6 to 19 times the per-capita incarceration rate of any Western European nation. [5] Moreover, the “criminologists” are failing miserably to rehabilitate prisoners – probably because most of them are innocent of the crimes they’ve been convicted of. It has been said by the former director of the Texas State prison system, “Prisons are criminalogenic”; i.e.: They create criminals. The exposé here is only the tip of a very large iceberg. This writer has also exposed similar corruption in a New York State prison [6] which was investigated (and covered up) by the US Department of Veteran’s Affairs Inspector General – Case # 2001-HL-0066, report # 02-00290-22 October 30, 2000 (see text below). In short, this writer alleges that many of the criminal cases brought against people are entirely fabricated so that the victims of the false allegations – and their alleged “victims” can be “treated” by shrinks who would otherwise be avoided like the plague.

This writer became involved with Metro-FLS on / around November 2004, as a referral by NYS Division of Parole. Up until the time that Metro-FLS was NOT licensed by OASAS, I attended group “therapy” sessions once per week – for one hour in the morning. As a personal precaution against ANOTHER false allegation being made against me by these (kinds of) devils, I purchased a Sony digital pocket recorder, and covertly digitally (audio) recorded and archived to CD, every word spoken – from the moment I walked in the door, until the doors closed on the elevator on the way out. In this way, these people could not falsely allege that I EVER admitted to the commission of any crime, and if they did, I would sue them in court, and post the entire album of “therapy” sessions and one-on-one interviews (over 8 Gigabytes) on the Internet.

Formerly located on the 10th floor at 190 Broadway, [7] in downtown Manhattan, Metro FLS moved into their completely renovated office space at 90 Maiden Lane, 4th floor, around the winter of 2005. This company is allegedly [8] associated with a similar company, which also operated out of the same office on Broadway, and that company is presently under investigation for similar abuses. Unbeknownst to me at the time, the Metro-FLS move to Maiden Lane coincided with their certification by OASAS. After the move, everyone else and I were required to attend these sessions EVERY MORNING during weekdays, and shortly thereafter, I attended only FOUR days a week, for an hour each morning.

Also unbeknownst to me at the time, Metro-FLS had been billing Medicaid for my “substance abuse counseling”, since I was honest and told them in the “intake interview” that I had used “Thai Stick” [9] in Vietnam – 35 years ago – but that I hadn’t used ANY drugs since (I have a digital audio recording of the interview). The (later) requirement to attend “therapy” sessions more than one day per week was not based on my “need” for treatment, or by mandate of Parole, but instead on the fact that Medicaid would pay for it (I couldn’t, and I wouldn’t – even if I had the money). In effect, I later learned, I was made a party to the crime of Medicaid fraud without even knowing it. There had been speculation amongst the participants that this was the case, but we had no empirical proof for our allegations. If the clients complained to the authorities, they would be thrown out of the program, be violated on their parole, and be sent back to prison. This was what is called in the law, “A classic penalty situation”, [10] and commonly called “Catch-22”. Of course, 99.99% of the participants said nothing, and Metro-FLS continued to defraud the system, until I exposed them. The discussion of the facts here is closely parallel to several seemingly unrelated cases. The similarity of the separate case examples I will cite in this discussion, shows that there is widespread abuse and overwhelming corruption in “the system”; corruption that rivals and indeed exceeds the alleged criminality of the “clients” of these self-appointed Hick-Farmer Sigmund Freud Wannabes.

It is perhaps ironic that Metro-FLS was now located right next door to the Agency for Children’s Services [11] (ACS) – formerly known as Child Protective Services (CPS)[12]. These are the same people whose neglect and gross incompetence allowed actual physical abuse to go unreported and innocent children to die as a result, while they concentrated their efforts on the allegation of non-existent “sexual abuse”. They prosecute parents for demanding control over their child’s medical treatment when they insist that children be given dangerous drugs such as Ritalin™, Adderall™, Prozak™, or any number of other dangerous drugs to treat fictitious diseases such as ADD / AHDD[13]. When one rises up in defense of such a child, the powers-that-be, fearful of being exposed, will retaliate against a whistle-blower by filing false allegations against him. I know – they certainly did it to me, and to several dozen others I personally know of. The abuses of CPS / ACS and their counterparts in the “therapy” business, is not confined to New York City. This writer had also uncovered a case of violation of parental rights involving alleged medical malpractice in Clinton County, in upstate New York. ACS in Clinton County had taken a young boy from his mother because she insisted that her child be properly treated for an ear infection. According to his mother in a recorded interview, after the child was taken from her and placed in foster care, his ear infection progressed to the point that he required an adenoid operation that severely damaged his hearing. This writer had posted a podcast[14] interview with the victim (the boy’s mother) on my web site (see: www.Net4TruthUSA.com/ACSAbuse.htm). I read the actual court document taking the child from his mother verbatim into the podcast. Shortly after speaking with her – she was homeless and staying at a women’s shelter in New York City at the time [15] – and the interview was posted, she traveled back upstate and attempted to see her son – to determine if he was okay – and was subsequently arrested and sent to prison for violating a ridiculous “order of protection”.

After Metro-FLS learned that a web site and had posted this interview, they had NYS Parole order the entire web site taken offline. The PO would not specify who was behind the order, at first leading me to believe it was ACS in Clinton County, and he knew from day one that I had a web site, and had given me his “blessing” to run it. Indeed, the web site was (voluntarily) temporarily taken offline, and I prepared the paperwork and was contemplating a civil lawsuit for violation of 1st Amendment rights, which I easily could have won Pro Se’,16] but upon prayerful contemplation, I decided that I would concentrate on exposing the abuses, instead.

A large section that follows has been omitted, although you can read it at the original website.

Peace and Godspeed.
