This was in a letter to me.(attached) I then called Hollern at his Florida residence to discuss the situation with him. He denied any knowledge of the situation and said to pay her the money. However, he felt that since Mrs. Johnson had already consulted a lawyer that her employment was over. He told me to call her and tell her she would receive two weeks severance pay with her retirement funds and she would not be returning to work. (I had sent her home while I checked into the situation). He then said that when she came for the check not to give it to her unless she signed a paper that said she would not report or sue Hollern (Uncle Paul) for receiving the funds. I asked where I would get a paper like that and he told me Michelle Clark had a copy because Joni (a former employee) had signed one before she left. Obviously this had happened before. I just told Hollern I would handle the matter and hung up.

I knew Hollern was lying about knowledge of the retirement fund misappropriations because of my discussions with Betsy Smith and Michelle Clark. I also knew that there were not enough funds in the corporate checking account to cover the amount owed Mrs. Johnson much less the others. The land lord was holding the rent check in order to keep it from bouncing. I was not going to strong arm the employee or participate in his cover up. I wrote a letter of resignation and told the employees I was quitting and what I thought of Hollern. I left and returned to Shelbyville where I told my former staff members I had quit and apologized for getting them into the mess. I also forbid the billing of anything under my license beyond that day (1-8-04).

Since I quit I have had nothing but trouble with Hollern and Stapleton. They have used my license and credentials to commit insurance fraud as well as Medicare fraud. They have reduced the standard of care in my former practice and practice in a manner that I feel endangers the patient’s health and their trust in the chiropractic profession. The following information will outline my complaints against Hollern and Stapleton.

Witnesses:

  1. Sharon Johnson

  2. Betsy Smith
