A Kentucky federal jury convicted clinical psychologist Alfred Bradley Adkins on multiple fraud counts in connection with his role in a massive fraud against the Social Security Administration (SSA). According to the evidence presented at trial, Adkins and Kentucky lawyer Eric Christopher Conn submitted false medical documentation to the SSA, and former SSA administrative law judge David Black Daugherty awarded disability benefits based on the fraudulent submissions. The evidence showed the scheme caused the SSA to pay more than $600 million in disability benefits in more than 2,000 cases to claimants in Kentucky and elsewhere, irrespective of the claimants’ actual entitlement to benefits.
