Defying the Court: A Doctor's Reckless Decision After Federal Prison

Many individuals believe they can close that chapter of their lives after being released from federal prison. They envision a total return to normalcy. I know from experience that the reality is often different.
I know from experience that victims still awaiting restitution do not simply move on. Their demands and the Department of Justice's expectations follow long after the sentence ends.
This story of a physician who recently contacted me underscores the ongoing responsibilities and potential pitfalls awaiting those who believe they can ignore their financial obligations after federal prison.
This doctor, having served a sentence for a white-collar crime, returned home only to face the harsh realities imposed by the terms of his release. Despite his freedom, he remained under the watchful eye of the justice system, specifically his probation officer.
During a recent tax season, the physician received a substantial tax refund-$40,000. Instead of adhering to the conditions set forth in his judgment and commitment order, which required him to turn this money over to his probation officer, he decided to keep it. This decision was not only a breach of trust but also a direct violation of his probation. When the probation officer discovered this, the consequences were immediate and severe: a potential return to prison for at least one year for violating probation.
This case highlights a critical aspect of post-prison life for white-collar defendants: the necessity of fulfilling financial obligations to victims. Ignoring these responsibilities can lead to further legal trouble and more severe penalties. The Department of Justice and the victims affected by white-collar crimes are steadfast in their pursuit of justice and restitution. They expect full compliance with all court-ordered commitments, regardless of the personal or financial hardships that fulfilling these obligations may impose on the offender.
For those returning home from federal prison on white-collar charges, do not let down your guard or get swept into a false sense of security. The government is watching--and so are victims.

My local probation officer was a good man. I was sad when my probation was over and I couldn't speak with him anymore. On my last day, while in his office, he saw on his computer that I had been charged with violation. He went into the courtroom and got it removed. He was pissed.

[@timjensen6968]

Why was he pissed?

[@deborahbreeden4394]

@timjensen6968 Because he was submitting to the Court that I had successfully completed my probation and the Court violated me falsely on the final day. He knew that I was a target of corrupt people.

[@deborahbreeden4394]

@timjensen6968 because the violation was FALSE and done by corrupt people. Once I got a Notice to Appear in Court via US Mail and when I called the Courthouse to confirm, they said I wasn't on the docket. When I went to court I asked a bailiff to check the list my name was hand written on the last page. Not in the computer.

[@jamms992]

My Federal Probation was like yours. I had one violation he talked to the judge for over 3 hours explaining everything that I had been through and everything that I had accomplished. Judge dismissed the violation. 1 year later he asked the same judge to terminate my supervised release and the Judge did. I see my former po every once in a while and we smile and knod.

[@deborahbreeden4394]

@jamms992 I knew that there would be ethical issues for his job if we had conversations after the probation ended. "BIG church" harassed me while little church protected me. There was a Saturday night event that I wanted to attend, but if some guy I didn't know showed up, I could face violation. When I called the PO ahead of time for his advice he said, "There is no legal reason for you to not go to the little church play. But you know how these people are."

If the payments are in the probation order, then yes, you have to pay while on probation, or risk being violated. BUT, if the payment of the restitution is not enumerated as a probation term, then it's enforceable only as a civil judgment ... your probation can run its course without any issue arising from your lack of payment.

@@olesuhr727 the underlying reason why physicians or any professional who requires a license to work loses their license when convicted of a felony, is that they can no longer be trusted. If a doctor is willing to commit a crime to enrich themselves how can the government or anyone trust them with someone's life? That said, I do believe a physician can petition to have their license reinstated a few years after completing the terms of their sentence if they accept responsibility, show remorse and make an effort to pay their debt to society, but I could be wrong.
