Notable Massachusetts scams
Dr. Scott Reuben, a Massachusetts-area anesthesiologist,
pleaded guilty
to one count of health care fraud stemming from accusations that he faked research for a dozen years in published studies that suggested after-surgery benefits from painkillers including Vioxx and Celebrex. He agreed to repay $361,932 of research grants and forfeit assets worth at least $50,000 as a penalty.
