CORRUPTION: 100 Arrests Expected in Massive NYC Cop/Firefighter Social Security Scam. “A former Long Island prosecutor, a pension consultant, and two others turned themselves in to authorities after law enforcement uncovered a complex system in which firefighters and law enforcement officials were coached to behave a certain way to cause doctors to falsely diagnose them with diseases and disabilities.

The money they received for their fraudulent illnesses was from, in many cases, the same pool of money that would have gone to help 9/11 first responders.”
