AMTRAK CONDUCTOR FAILED TO REPORT CRIMINAL CONVICTION FOR MEDICAID FRAUD

A former Amtrak conductor based in New York City violated company policies when he failed to report his conviction for Medicaid fraud, which occurred on April 30, 2015, in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland. We found that the company’s Human Resources department had no record of his arrest or conviction. We interviewed the conductor, who admitted that he had been convicted of a felony, paid restitution, and regularly reported to a probation officer while working for the company. The conductor resigned on November 30, 2022, and is not eligible for rehire.
