Did you hear about the man, Ronald Evano, that was sentenced last month to more than five years in jail due to his role in a fraud scheme in which he and his wife are said to have intentionally eaten glass fragments in order to collect more than $200,000 in compensation from a multi-state insurance company?
Evano was also ordered to repay as much as $340,000 for his role in defrauding insurers, grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals and doctors in the scheme in which both he and his wife claimed that there was glass in the food that they had eaten.
The couple filed fraudulent insurance claims worth more than $200,000 and incurred more than $100,000 in unpaid medical bills between 1997 and 2005 across several states.
Evano plead guilty to charges in federal court to 20 counts of mail fraud, conspiracy, wire fraud, identity theft, and making false statements on health care matters and social security fraud.
Evano’s wife, Mary, remains a fugitive. An arrest warrant has been issued for Mary Evano listing the same charges that her husband plead guilty to in August.
Evano asked the judge for mercy, saying in court that he and his wife are members of the minority Roma community, and needed the money to pay for dowries and other costs associated with the marriages of his sons under cultural practices.

Do you think this is a good plan or a bad plan? New York’s assault on obesity includes a plan to require some restaurants to list the calorie content of their foods right on the menu. I think I’d like that myself.
New York City’s health department just wants to make diners aware of a meals potential effect on their waste lines. As currently written, the rule would apply only to eateries with standardized portion sizes that already disclose calorie information voluntarily. Mostly, that would mean national fast-food chains, which frequently post nutritional charts on their Web sites or print it on fliers. New York’s Board of Health is scheduled to vote on the labeling of calories for menu items proposal in December.The regulation would take effect in July if it’s approved.
What do you think? If this only affects restaurants that already disclose calories information voluntarily is this going to make any difference? If it required all restaurants to list calories on their menus then I think it would be a big change, but as it stands- not so much of a change is it?
