Update on UC Irvine alum Dr. George Steven Kooshian: Doctor admits skimping on AIDS patients' meds. Dr. Kooshian allegedly sold saline, or dramatically diluted meds, to AIDS and hepatitis patients. This is a case in which payment was sought and received for goods and services not actually rendered.

That pattern has come up a lot in the news recounted on this blog.

Sentencing is apparently in May 2009.
