Dr. Vilasini Ganesh is now serving a 5 year prison term accused of filing “false insurance claims.” The mistake she made was asking for the substantial monies owed to her by these very same medical insurance companies and then threatening legal action when her requests were ignored.
Instead, the insurance companies turned it around, accused her of insurance fraud and then defrauded her using the Federal government and manufactured evidence to prosecute her and avoiding payment and her legal action.
It subsequently became known that the government prosecutors, wittingly or unwittingly, presented fraudulent evidence. The spreadsheet evidence that was used to convict her was not related in any way to her practice.
While the government prosecutors later agreed that the spreadsheets were wrongly presented, they blamed the doctor herself for not raising this before or at the trial. The problem was, the trial lawyer who represented Dr. Vilasini completely ignored the data, despite the fact that he took money to hire experts to check the accuracy of the data. These experts were never hired. There is no doubt that she was convicted on false and fraudulent evidence.
At present while Dr. Ganesh is in prision at FCI Dublin, California, the only chance that now remains is appealing this to the courts under a a Habeus Corpus appeal 2255 and laying out the consequences of how this affected her trial verdicts.
