Haggerty... An Illinois businessman pleaded guilty to ripping off a hospital to the tune of $2.5 million by offering to sell it high-grade surgical masks, but not delivering and then using the money to buy Maseratis and a Range Rover. Haggerty and his two partners soon reached a deal with an Iowa hospital to sell it 500,000 masks for $2.495 million, prosecutors said. But instead of having the money directed to At Diagnostics, Haggerty instructed the hospital to send the payment to a separate company, At Media, which only he controlled.
Prosecutors say Haggerty withdrew the money in increments lower than $10,000 so as not to trigger the bank’s mandatory reporting requirements to report transactions of $10,000 and above to the government.After a month had passed and the masks hadn’t been delivered to the Iowa hospital, the hospital demanded its money back. Haggerty then claimed that the money had never been received and showed hospital officials and his partners doctored bank statements.
