U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin said a former Charleston dentist’s personal wealth was accumulated at the cost of keeping some of his patients addicted to opioids and defrauding Medicaid as he sentenced him to prison Thursday morning.
In front of more than 20 people supporting Antoine E. Skaff, Goodwin sentenced Skaff to five years in federal prison for healthcare fraud.
Skaff, 58, pleaded guilty to the charge in August, and he will remain under the supervision of a probation officer for three years after he’s released from prison, Goodwin said.
