According to Ana:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"I am a 65 year old physician and an American Citizen.
\nI received a 30 year sentence for Medicare fraud after I worked for approximately\u00a04 months (as an employee) in a clinic that used my Medicare number. I was a pawn\u00a0in an elaborate scheme perpetrated by the Benitez brothers, whom I never met.\u00a0At my age this sentence equals a life sentence. To date I have served over a decade of this\u00a0excessive sentence at FCI Tallahassee. Everyone else involved is already home, including the\u00a0clinic owners and managers. I was offered a 12 plea agreement, but based on my lawyers\u00a0advice and my belief in my innocence, I went to trial. How does a 12 month plea turned into a\u00a0360 month staked sentence by going to trial? I do not understand.\u00a0\u00a0I am asking for a\u00a0second chance to return to society, study, work and take care of my family. I would love the\u00a0opportunity to practice my passion again, healing.<\/p>\n

My young daughter needs her Mom at home. My parents are elderly and infirm. My Dad is 93 years\u00a0old and suffers from dementia, heart disease and severe osteoarthritis. He walks slowly with\u00a0a walker. My Mom is 88 years old and is legally blind, suffering from multiple debilitating medical\u00a0problems. She spends most of her day in bed. I hope and pray to that I may be given the opportunity\u00a0to see them again and take care of them.<\/p>\n

My daughter was 12 years old when we were separated, it was heartbreaking. It is her, my parents and my\u00a0youngest nephew (who lost his Mom when he was very young) who keep my candle burning.\u00a0I was an irresponsible fool, I trusted and believed my employers and FBI agents. I cooperated with the FBI\u00a0for approximately for 3 out of the 4 months of employment at the clinic. I even wore a wire as they demanded\u00a0of me and I gave them the information.
\nIn hindsight I can not believe that I was so irresponsible, foolish and gullible. I am infinitely sorry and ashamed for what I have done and ask for forgiveness. I should have been more careful and researched the clinic, the\u00a0owners, managers and the treatment offered. I was wrong, and I have never been more sorry in my life!<\/p>\n

I am a non violent first time offender. No patient was harmed with the treatments. In fact, treatments with Platelet Rich Plasma are now being used by Plastic Surgeons for speedy healing of wounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My case was treated like a malpractice case for which I received enhancements ( For example: Conscious Reckless Risk of death or Bodily Injury). According to the Government the patients did not receive the treatments which the clinic build Medicare for, and this is what constitutes the fraud. If medication was not given, then patients could not have been at risk of harm.<\/p>\n

Once released from prison I will at live home with my parents and take care of them. I plan to work and study\u00a0to be a Diabetic Educator.\u00a0I am asking for a second chance to offer penance and restitution for my actions, to gain forgiveness, and for\u00a0the opportunity to once again be a productive member of society.<\/p>\n

In everlasting hope,
