Contemptible Doctor’s Bankruptcy Denied
Former osteopath John A. King who generated 124 medical malpractice lawsuits during his seven months at Putnam General Hospital had filed for bankruptcy in late 2007 claiming the only asset to his name was a $500 Volvo, thus trying to prevent litigation against him. Fortunately, a federal bankruptcy judge learned that King has been hiding at least $670,000 in assets under the Bone Maker Trust, one of several accounts King created. As a result, the judge ruled that King can no longer use his federal bankruptcy filing to eliminate debts or protect himself from financial claims and lawsuits. Perhaps justice can finally be realized for the countless victims of his negligence.
