That should do for a start.Milberg was also a huge, politically charged target - a big supporter of Bill Clinton, then still in office.

Fraud charges against 35 in sting.
Authorities set up a bogus clinic.
A lawyer and others are accused of making false accident claims.

A Center City lawyer and 34 other people were charged with fraud yesterday in an elaborate sting operation that focused on personal injury claims from supposed vehicular accidents, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced.
U.S. Attorney Patrick L. Meehan said his office and the FBI set up a bogus chiropractic clinic, known as Injury Associates, on Roosevelt Boulevard in Northeast Philadelphia as the center of the sting, which was conducted over about three years.
Officials said those charged were divided into three groups: the lawyer, Jordan B. Luber, who obtained a legal settlement on behalf of two FBI agents posing as injured patients from a vehicular accident; 31 "patients" who sought financial recovery based on false medical diagnoses and nonexistent medical treatment for supposed injuries from vehicle accidents; and "runners" who received referral fees from Injury Associates for recruiting "patients" to the clinic while knowing the clinic was a fraudulent operation.
In the scheme, the runners got kickbacks, and the patients received paperwork that could be used to file injury claims in hopes of receiving a settlement.
