Medical group manager gets prison for stealing patients' records
October 10, 2007|By John Cote, Chronicle Staff Writer



(10-09) 12:42 PDT SAN JOSE - A former branch manager at the San Jose Medical Group has been sentenced to almost two years in prison for stealing medical records for about 187,000 patients, federal prosecutors said today.

Joseph Nathaniel Harris, 44, pleaded guilty in May to one count of health care-related theft after he stole computer equipment from his former employer, including a DVD that contained patients' names, Social Security numbers, medical diagnoses and other information, the U.S. attorney's office said.

Harris was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court in San Jose to 21 months in prison and three years of supervised release. Judge Jeremy Fogel also ordered him to pay $145,154 in restitution.

Harris, now an Anaheim resident, was directed to begin his sentence Jan. 4.

Harris worked as the branch manager of the San Jose Medical Group's McKee clinic at 227 Jackson Ave. in August and September 2004, court records said.

During that time, "there were several incidents of reported theft of money and medications," according to an affidavit by FBI Agent Deborah Amrhein. "Because of these suspicions, (CEO Ernie) Wallerstein asked Harris to resign. ... Harris complied."

On March 28, 2005, employees discovered computer equipment was missing from the medical group's administrative office, including a DVD with clinic visit entries and detailed information for 187,000 patients in the South Bay, prosecutors said.

Harris kept the DVD but sold the stolen computer equipment, prosecutors said. FBI agents later found the DVD in Harris' car. He was charged in January 2006 with the theft.

During his employment at the medical group, Harris "bragged to fellow employees of his experience as a Green Beret, in military security and about his side business selling used computers," Amrhein wrote in the affidavit.

After Harris resigned, there were six burglaries at three San Jose Medical Group offices. Amrhein also reported that Harris had been fired from a 2003 job at the Silicon Valley Children's Fund for conducting personal business, including selling computers on Craigslist, on company time.

After he was fired from that job, there was a burglary at the Children's Fund offices and two computers were stolen, according to court documents.

Wow. Am sure hopeful that there is a real GB Harris, and that there is some kind of stolen identity here....

If Not? This is a poseur scumbag manuer eating POS, who can save everyone in his little twisted world a dime or two, and just off his sorry assed self, for claiming the title and heroism of Real SF MEN, In My Very Humble Opinion!

Damn all posers to Hell!

NEW REVIEW OF MI VIDA by A FELLOW PARATROOPER:This
is a bad-assed book. It's got everything. Sex, drugs & rock and
roll. There is some really heart breaking stuff in this book. It is an
emotional roller coaster ride. If you are looking for stories about
SF operations and killing Narco terrorist-don't buy this book, go ...get a copy of Soldier of Fortune.

I wrote that quote in an e-mail after reading the book. I stand by it. There is really no detail in the book about any particular operations he went on. It does mention a year of classified work. I asked him about it and he will not discuss it.

I stand by my quote:

It's a good story. His vetting is not my responsibility, as I am not a Green Beret.

After being allowed to be his friend again, I found some more interesting information
He apparantly has lived in Israel for 18 yrs where he had several practices in psychology. He apparantly attended two medical schools there...one belongs to the other according to my sources. HE NEVER ATTENDED EITHER, NEVER GRADUATED FROM ANY SCHOOL IN ISRAEL NOR HAS HE EVER HELD ANY MEDICAL LICENSING OR PRACTICED MEDICINE IN ISRAEL. This is information that was researched by a friend of mine who is an attorney in Tel Aviv who spoke with Records at the schools.

JJ....he posted a pic of the Spring 2011 The Drop where his name is posted as a member with Chapter 12. He also has some AMAZINGLY modest pictures of himself wearing many different berets with flashes of all the units he served in. His new bio reads so well its a wonder he hasn't part the oceans and turned water into wine. Also, according to him, he is now receiving 100% disability for PTSD.

Pages 301-305 tell part of the story of his convictions on stealing computers and such, from his side of course. This is from the website that was posted earlier.

More to go around - the pics prove interesting as a 91B2V...NOT an 18D...and nothing indicating any time other than possibly being attached to SF during some training or range or some other sort of medical coverage.

http://www.mivida2010.com/apps/photo...bumid=10221177

The unworn beret w/o sewn-on 7th SFG flash is interesting.

SP5 and not Sergeant as claimed.

No diplomas or such, either.

And so it goes...

Well said, Ms. Echoes.

This honor-less fool has stolen from those who are brave enough to stand the gap between our peoples freedoms and chaos. His actions go against the very ideals our country was founded on and are far below the purpetrations of mere theives.

Stealing from our heros. I can't wait to see his a-- nailed to the wall. He should be exiled from the country.
