Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

ON BRIEF: Joan Ellerbusch Morgan , Sylvan Lake, Michigan, for Appellant. Philip A. Ross , United States Attorney's Office, Detroit, MI, for Appellee.

Before: SUTTON and GRIFFIN, Circuit Judges; WELLS, District Judge.


OPINION

SUTTON, Circuit Judge.

Joaquin Tasis and several comrades devised a sophisticated scheme to bill Medicare for fictitious drug therapies, bilking taxpayers out of millions of dollars in the process.

The Medicare scheme was elaborate and complex, but Tasis's arguments on appeal are not. We affirm.
