Health care fraud appeal.
David and Mona Markus represented Vanja on appeal (and not at trial). Vanja was sentenced to 9 years in prison in the infamous American Therapeutic case, which was a $200 million Medicare fraud prosecution. Mona wrote the briefs and argued that Vanja was innocent. David argued the matter in the 11th Circuit, and the Court agreed and not only threw out Vanja’s conviction but also ordered a judgment of acquittal in a 53-page opinion (pdf). The Miami Herald covered the amazing story.
