Using Mexican and Guatemalan passports, David Morrow fled to Israel to avoid prison for fraud, having admitted he performed surgeries that weren't needed or wanted by patients.
A Southern California plastic surgeon who fled to Israel to avoid prison for mail fraud and other charges was extradited this week to Los Angeles, where a federal judge Friday ordered him to begin serving his 20-year sentence, authorities said.
Morrow invented diagnoses to bill insurers for cosmetic surgeries, according to the government: Nose jobs became “deviated septum repair surgeries,” breast augmentations were needed to treat “tuberous breast deformities,” and tummy tucks took care of “umbilical and ventral hernias,” prosecutors said in court documents.After pleading guilty in March 2016, Morrow surrendered his passport, posted $5,000 bond and agreed not to travel outside the continental United States.
In September 2017, Judge Josephine L. Staton sentenced Morrow in absentia to 20 years in federal prison, calling him a man whose “greed knew no bounds.” His wife, who pleaded not guilty, was awaiting trial when she disappeared, charged with fraud and aggravated identity theft.Israeli authorities arrested David and Linda Morrow last year. The couple had assumed new fake identities, using a new set of fake Guatemalan passports, Pell said. Israeli authorities deported Linda Morrow in July 2019.
