Ex-CEO of Rehab Pleads Guilty to Milking Patients for Profits

Everyone Loves Money –

August 28, 2019 – In pleading guilty to charges of conspiring to commit money laundering and health-care fraud, Gerner, 46, of Shamong, Burlington County, told a federal judge that he and his partners were responsible for nearly $17 million in fraudulent insurance billings between 2015 and 2016. He could face years in prison.

Gerner’s admission of guilt comes five months after he and 10 other executives were charged in a joint investigation by the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office and federal authorities in Philadelphia that highlighted Liberation Way’s dubious history in a state where opioid addiction is responsible for thousands of deaths each year. “These defendants held various positions within the Liberation Way organization, but they all had one thing in common — all had a responsibility to the people they were serving, the people who needed help,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams in a statement. “They failed in this important responsibility and are now paying the price.”
