How To Make 100 Million unravels the intricate and staggering tale of the largest bankruptcy fraud in history, masterminded by the equity firm Perigrove 1018 in collusion with Isaac Lefkowitz. This eye-opening exposé reveals how 300,000 victims were deprived of their benefits through a meticulously orchestrated scheme involving multiple legal and financial manipulations.
The story begins with Perigrove 1018’s acquisition of Corizon Health, a healthcare company based in Brentwood, Tennessee. Despite having no business operations in Texas, Perigrove strategically hired the Texas law firm Gray Reed McGraw, with attorney Jason Brookner at the helm. Under their guidance, Perigrove formed three Texas-based corporations: YesCare Inc., CHS-TX, and Tehum Care Services, Inc. These entities were instrumental in transferring hundreds of millions of dollars from Corizon’s assets, including COVID-19 relief funds, into Perigrove’s coffers.
Once the assets were siphoned off, Perigrove filed for bankruptcy. To safeguard their illicit gains, they enlisted attorney Liz Freeman, the live-in girlfriend and former law clerk of Judge David Jones. With Freeman’s assistance, Judge Jones issued numerous mediation decisions favoring Tehum. However, the scheme began to unravel when Judge Christopher Lopez intervened, overturning all actions by Judge Jones, revealing the depth of the conspiracy.
In How To Make 100 Million, I delve into the sordid details of how everyone involved with Perigrove, including Isaac Lefkowitz, amassed immense wealth through fraudulent means. The book lays bare the stark reality that the only entities that suffered financial losses were the United States, states, counties, cities, public entities using privatized healthcare, prisoners, and the families of deceased prisoners. Gray Reed McGraw, the law firm orchestrating this bankruptcy fraud, also profited handsomely.
This scandal has caught the attention of United States Senators from both political parties, who have urged the Justice Department to pursue prosecution against those involved.
In a postscript, I share recent developments as of July 8, 2024, when I filed two motions in bankruptcy court to dismiss this fraudulent bankruptcy, citing a recent United States Supreme Court decision involving Purdue Pharma. How To Make 100 Million is a compelling, detailed account of corporate greed, legal malfeasance, and the pursuit of justice in one of the most significant financial fraud cases of our time.
