Leads with picture of an Eclipse captioned:

"Dr. Jorge C. Zamora-Quesada owned this million-dollar jet, a personalized Maserati and numerous luxury properties."

I don't like the "owning a jet means you are a bad person" subtext.

There are many very good doctors out there who own jets and don't commit fraud.

I don’t read any such subtext in there, or any implication that all doctors should be suspected of fraud.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...

Owning an Eclipse is certainly a sign of questionable judgment.

I want my doctor to be a 'king air guy'.

I want my doctor owning and flying a V-tail Bonanza in showroom condition and piloting it in a way that would make Eckalbar proud! :D

The sad part in all of this is that he's been conducting his practice and his life this way for many years, no doubt actually harming some patients and fraudulently obtaining money from all of us.

Fortunately, although this particular story is quite spectacular, such corrupt doctors are not common.

But....

How did it take the DOJ so many years to drop the hammer on this guy?? :scratch:

Unlike the vast majority of criminals, he was smart, careful and rich. There are so many idiot perps out there, the criminal justice system stays busy gathering all the low hanging fruit. The good news is, they did get him.

TRW's first jet was and Eclipse, so don't be so quick to judge. The Eclipse is the gateway jet and shortly thereafter you get a burning desire to own a Citation.

The eclipse is plenty big for a manlet, especially when using other people’s money to fund it

Don’t you mean a desire to own a burning Citation?

You probably want your doctor to be a cheap a$$ mooney driver. Your healthcare bills will be trim and efficient, too. :-)
