This got forwarded to me recently.
When I read it I was really curious what opinions might be out there on this person's case. I'm really split. On the one hand I believe this guy did do something dumb but not dangerous and probably doesn't deserve the severity of the punishment he may be facing. But on the other hand I keep asking myself: how did this not seem shady at any point? nothing about their financial situation that seemed to provoke his seeking out this side-gig is unique at all (certainly not to anyone on this forum), so how necessary was seeking out these funds compared to following the sound but boring financial advice people on this site try to live by? did he not realize the simple fact that what we physicians document and sign is legally and ethically very consequential and important?
What do you guys think?
