LOHAN’S DAD BAGGED IN BRIBE SCANDAL!
Accused of preying on addicts by taking $25G kickbacks from drug rehab facility
RECOVERING druggie Lindsay Lohan’s dad has been busted by lawmen and accused of raking in at least $25,000 in bounties by funneling desperate substance abusers to a Florida rehab center!
According to prosecutors, Michael Lohan banked nine kickback checks for patient brokering in 2017 and 2018.
Incredibly, the former Disney star’s 61-year-old daddy took a $5,000 kickback for a gal he was bedding by sending her to Pride Recovery Center in Delray Beach, says State Attorney Dave Aronberg.
Lohan was arrested after an owner of the rehab facility ratted him out as part of a plea deal, authorities say.
“Mr. Lohan was investigated by our Sober Homes Task Force and he’s being charged with receiving kickbacks for referring patients to drug treatment,” says the prosecutor.
Lawmen claim he directed addicts with health insurance to seek treatment at Pride Recovery, which paid the bounty because medical coverage results guaranteed payments and higher fees.
Lohan has lots of experience with drug addiction. His company is called Lola Recovery Ventures. Daughter Lindsay’s A-list movie career went down the drain after she became a falling-down substance abuser in her late teens and early 20s. Dina, his ex and Lindsay’s mom, was arrested for DWI a year ago, about the same time Michael’s second ex, Kate Major, checked into rehab.
The prosecutor insists patient brokering is evil
“because decisions are motivated by greed instead of a patient’s needs.”
But Michael’s lawyer says his client is innocent and
“the truth will come out” in court — insisting the celebrity father “should be applauded for his efforts in saving lives — not arrested for them.”
