Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., today announced the sentencing of ARON GOLDMAN, 59, to 2 1/2 to 7 1/2 years in prison and $800,000 in fines, for perpetrating a massive no-fault insurance fraud through a criminal enterprise known as the St. Nicholas Group, which stole more than $6.2 million from automobile insurance companies over a 5-year period. On March 15, 2010, co-defendant MATTHEW KESCHNER, 38, was sentenced to 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 years in prison and $750,000 in fines. “This significant sentence follows a 3-month trial that exposed the inner workings of a criminal enterprise designed to exploit the no-fault insurance system,” District Attorney Vance said. “These fraudulent practices threaten the safety of patients, whose well-being was not driving the medical decisions made by the practitioners involved, and contribute to increased premiums for honest consumers. Our Office is committed to rooting out health care fraud wherever is it found.”
