Judge awards $1.9M to Rockwood medical clinic whistleblower

(AP) — The former chief financial officer of a chain of medical clinics in Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, has been awarded $1.9 million after he alleged he was fired for refusing to file fabricated financial reports.

In a ruling last week, U.S. Department of Labor administrative law judge Christopher Larsen awarded him $1.9 million, saying he had no reasonable basis for approving the $4 million figure and an entirely reasonable basis for rejecting it.
