Missouri State Rep. Tricia Derges(R) resigns after $900K COVID clinic fraud scheme conviction

NYP-

A Missouri Republican state representative has resigned days after being convicted of 22 federal charges, the majority of those offenses being linked to a $900,000 COVID-19 fraud scheme operated through medical clinics and a non-profit at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.

State Rep. Tricia Derges stepped down Friday from her seat representing Christian County (District 140) in the Missouri House of Representatives, KOLR reported. 

Her resignation came four days after she was convicted on June 28 by a federal trial jury for what prosecutors described as a nearly $900,000 COVID-19 fraud scheme, as well as a separate $200,000 fraud scheme in which she made false claims about a fake stem cell treatment marketed through her clinics in southern Missouri, and for illegally providing prescription drugs to clients of those clinics.

The 64-year-old from Nixa, Mo., was found guilty of 10 counts of wire fraud, 10 counts of distributing drugs over the internet without a valid prescription, and two counts of making false statements to a federal law enforcement agent, the Justice Department announced earlier last week.  MORE

  1. Fact is that NY democrat politicians, HHS, medical examiner office, City Council, and Dept of Vital Records should also be indicted in their own scheme, especially during the past 2+ years to present. This also includes the numerous doctors and hospitals who were bribed by Medicare and Medicaid to promote the covid19 virus and push the false ChiCom-made “testing kits” sold by Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Kroger, Target, Duane Reade, Rite Aid etc. Not mention that the fake conservative news site NYPOST was busted accepting bribe money to push the covid19 narrative-plot and toxic vaxx-boosters, to present. Also add those doctors and so-called ‘health clinics’ who were compromised and promised increased insurance pay-outs by Medicare if they promote cv19 and vaxx-boosters. Looks like they’re doing the same with the homo monkeypox. Use natural cures if anf when possible. Strongly suggest that all research ‘organic oregano essential oil’ (draxedotcom).

  2. The lesson here: Don’t defraud the fraudsters.

    CoVid IS a fukkin fraud! The gov’t stole our money to hand out to fraudsters, but, apparently, she wasn’t one of the “approved” fraudsters.

  3. Covid was always a massive scam, a way to steal money and power, and a means to dispose of epensive elderly citizens that may not agree with Democrat politics.

    It was never about any virus.

  4. @SNS: The jab did more harm to people than the virus itself. We saw all the people who got jabbed become super spreaders all the while blaming it on the nonjabbed. So, when are the people going to go after the hospitals, doctors, etc., who lied to them. I’m a fan of Jordan Peterson, it’s only 7 minutes long, but he nails it on telling lies. “One of the advantages to telling the truth is that you don’t have to remember what you’ve said”.

  5. There may or may not be more Democrats than the Republican establishment that were in on the hustle, but not by much. Almost every stinking one of them at all levels of government have been profiting of the covid scam.
