General Counsel
D.C. Department of Behavioral Health

Dear Mr. Caspari:

Enclosed is my felony fraud certification for February 2014.  There is evidence that I committed a felony against the Government of the United States (U.S. Social Security Administration) on February 1, 2014.  There is evidence that I am engaged in a long-term scheme to defraud the federal government of up to about $500,000 in public monies in the form of SSA disability and Medicare services.  These matters are more fully discussed in the enclosed petition.

I receive weekly psychotherapy provided by the D.C. Department of Behavioral Health (Mohommed Shreiba, MD under the supervision of Earle Baughman, MD).  I receive medical management provided by The McClendon Center (Nurse Sara F. Carroll), a Core Services Agency of the District of Columbia.  There is evidence that I do not suffer from any mental illness of any kind and that the billing of Medicare for mental health services by the D.C. Government constitutes fraud, a felony prosecutable under the laws of the United States.

I qualified for SSA disability benefits based on the determination made in October 1991 by my former employer (the law firm of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld) in consultation with a practicing psychiatrist in violation of the American Psychiatric Association's so-called Goldwater Rule that I suffered from a psychiatric "disorder" that rendered me a direct threat in the workplace.  The D.C. Office of Corporation Counsel determined in 1997, based on legally-irrelevant after-acquired evidence, that my coworkers at Akin Gump formed genuine and credible fears in August 1989 -- two years before I was terminated -- that I might become armed and extremely dangerous.  In late October 1991 my direct supervisor stated to her employees that she feared I might become extremely dangerous and had the firm take protective measures against my committing a homicidal assault against the firm, though the firm did not contact the D.C. police.   You may review my employment at the firm with Akin Gump senior counsel Dennis M. Race, Esq. at 202 887-4028.

Incidentally, I believe former Akin Gump partner Edward S. Knight, Esq. (currently with NASDAQ) has information about my employment at the firm that might be valuable to federal law enforcement.  Mr. Knight served as General Counsel of the U.S. Department of the Treasury during the Clinton Administration.  It ill-behooves a former Treasury Department General Counsel to fail to disclose information to federal law enforcement that might be pertinent to a criminal investigation.

Sincerely,
 
Gary Freedman
