More trouble for ex-Powell hospital bossNov 14, 2012 - The Associated Press POWELL -- Two men accused of defrauding Powell Valley Healthcare in Wyoming are now accused of also defrauding a hospital in Indiana. Federal court documents allege fugitive Paul Cardwell and Michael J. Plake defrauded White County Memorial Hospital in Monticello, Ind., out of more than $800,000 between 2003 and 2009. An indictment alleges Cardwell funneled the hospital's money to a bogus staff recruiting firm that Plake purportedly ran, and Cardwell and Plake would share in the proceeds. The two were accused in a similar scheme in Wyoming. Cardwell was once CEO of the Indiana hospital before becoming CEO at Powell Valley. |
