Key legal question
Whether the conviction for aggravated commercial fraud was unlawful because the complaints, medical reports, and alleged participation of doctors negated deception or arglist.
Extracted holding
The defendant deceived the doctors and also directly deceived SUVA and the IV; the courts could find arglist because the physicians depended largely on his truthful account, and the factual findings bound the Federal Supreme Court.
Extracted reasoning
The complaint was largely appellatory and did not satisfy the strict reasoning requirements. On the merits, the lower court’s findings established that the defendant did not suffer the claimed symptoms, that he misrepresented them, and that the victims relied on these statements. The argument about indirect perpetration failed because direct deception of the institutions was found.
