KENTUCKY
Psychologist, Judge and Attorney Convicted in Scheme to Defraud the Social Security Administration
After deliberating for three hours, a federal jury in Lexington, KY, convicted the last defendant in what is being called the largest Social Security disability fraud scheme. Clinical psychologist Alfred Bradley Adkins was found guilty for conspiring with disability lawyer Eric Christopher Conn, and former Social Security Administration (SSA) administrative law judge David Black Daugherty in a scheme that obligated the SSA to pay over $600 million in disability benefits. The plot to defraud the SSA involved over 2,000 cases brought by claimants in Kentucky and throughout the U.S. seeking disability benefits. The week-long trial concluded on June 12 with the jury finding Adkins guilty of conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud and making false statements.
