BRIEF: Official of defunct medical firm gets 5 years of probation

Apr 28, 2012 (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Deanna Seruga, former controller of Wilkins-based World Health Alternatives Inc., was sentenced today to five years probation for misprision of felony in connection with the defunct medical staffing firm.
The crime involves knowing of falsehood but failing to report it. U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti handed down the sentence.

World Health's co-founder Richard E. McDonald of Leechburg pleaded guilty this month to several fraud and tax counts and faces sentencing in August.

He was accused of manipulating the company's books and understating expenses and liabilities to make the firm appear to be more financially sound.

Ms. Seruga's age and place of residence were not immediately available.
