KNOXVILLE: 3 WOMEN FOUND GUILTY IN MASSIVE PHARMACY FRAUD SCHEME A federal jury just delivered GUILTY verdicts against Tiffany Haney, Anne Warren, and Tina Roper — the trio behind a years-long prescription fraud operation at Rocky Hill Pharmacy right here in Knoxville, Tennessee. Here’s what they were doing: ❌ Writing FAKE prescriptions in the names of friends and family ❌ Billing Medicare, TennCare, and other insurers for drugs costing up to $6,000 EACH ❌ Adding extra medications onto real prescriptions to inflate sales ❌ Using stolen doctor identities to submit unauthorized claims The scheme netted Haney and Warren over $8.7 MILLION dollars. What did they spend it on? A multi-story cabin in Sevier County, a 2024 GMC Sierra, a 2023 Cadillac Escalade, and multiple Knoxville properties — all of which the government has now seized. After a 15-day trial, jurors deliberated and came back with their answer. Justice was served. A forfeiture hearing is coming up, and then U.S. District Judge Thomas Varlan will hand down sentencing. msn.com/en-us/news/us/…

We all know about Weller Rye, right? 🤯

Arguably the best college basketball coach of my lifetime.

Private equity firms bought 500 hospitals. Death rates in their emergency rooms went up 13%. They fired 12% of the staff. Then they paid themselves billions in dividends. A Harvard study just confirmed what doctors already knew: people are dying so investors can hit quarterly targets. Exactly what happens. A PE firm buys a hospital using debt. The debt gets placed on the hospital's balance sheet, not the firm's. Now the hospital owes hundreds of millions it never borrowed. To service that debt, the hospital cuts costs. Costs mean nurses. The numbers from the Harvard/University of Chicago study are horrifying. After PE acquisition, emergency department salary spending dropped 18.2%. ICU salary spending dropped 15.9%. Hospital-wide employees were cut 11.6%. Emergency department deaths rose 13%, seven additional deaths per 10,000 visits. A separate study found patients undergoing surgery at PE-acquired hospitals had 17% higher odds of dying within 90 days. Steward Health Care, owned by Cerberus Capital, filed bankruptcy with $9 billion in debt after closing hospitals across Massachusetts. The CEO lived on a $40 million yacht while emergency rooms went dark. Eight hospitals serving 2 million people nearly disappeared because a PE fund extracted more cash than the system could survive. The private equity industry has poured over $1 trillion into healthcare. They operate a quarter of ERs nationwide. This isn't going away. The investing angle nobody talks about. Non-PE hospital operators like HCA Healthcare (HCA) and Tenet (THC) are the direct beneficiaries. Every time a PE hospital closes or deteriorates, patients flow to the nearest competitor. HCA has returned 1,200% since 2011. Patient volume from PE closures is a structural tailwind nobody's pricing in. Medical staffing firms (AMN Healthcare, Cross Country) charge premium rates specifically because PE hospitals cut staff. The staffing shortage IS the business model for these companies. The disruption play: outpatient surgical centers (SCA Health, now part of UnitedHealth) are pulling profitable procedures out of hospitals entirely. PE-owned hospitals lose their highest-margin surgeries to outpatient, and the death spiral accelerates. Pull up tradevision and monitor healthcare M&A alerts, hospital closure filings, and patient volume migration data. When a PE-owned hospital announces "restructuring," the patient volume shift to competitors like HCA starts within 30 days. That 30-day window is when the competitor's earnings revisions haven't updated yet. Free to try. (a private equity firm bought your local hospital. borrowed $500 million in the hospital's name. fired 12% of the nurses. emergency room deaths rose 13%. then they paid themselves dividends. nobody went to prison. they're currently buying another hospital.)

Louisville legend Edgar Sosa is finally headed home. After being stuck in Iran for 14 days during the war, Sosa shared that he has safely made it out of the country and is on his way back home. A player who gave Card Nation so many big moments during his time in the Ville, it’s good to see the Cardinal legend safe. ❤️🖤 🙏🏽Prayers up for Sosa and everyone affected.

Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

@cooplemoderne That Rap n Roll Deluxe bro

@bigchetti it’s probably OGDK, Yellow Album, then West Side 1 for me. I’m a big fan of Rap N Roll too.

His best project hands down.
