If you are an academician seeking a powerful, lasting lesson on business ethics or a compliance office seeking to effectively manage risk, Aaron Beam founder and former CFO of HealthSouth, is the real-world solution to a pervasive, debilitating trend.
Corporate greed is the Black Plague of the modern financial world – threatening America’s ability to maintain free market capitalism in an increasingly distrusting, changing, and complicated world economy.
Beam’s story, is the untold story of HealthSouth, one of America’s most successful health care companies and consequently, the perpetrator of one of its biggest frauds in history. How big was the fraud? In 2003, just before news of the crime broke in the mainstream media, Healthcare paid more money in taxes to the Federal Government than it legitimately earned the previous year.
Beam takes the audience from HealthSouth’s humble beginnings, through its meteoric rise to its disastrous revelation, subsequent trial and his three-month incarceration in a Federal prison. Moreover, he reveals the nature of the fraud and the true personality of the driving force behind HealthSouth – Richard Marin Scrushy, one of the most enigmatic and nefarious characters the State of Alabama has ever produced – a hard-charging, unscrupulous visionary whose caustic, Machiavellian approach ensured HealthSouth’s success, and oddly, his predictable fall as the company’s benevolent dictator.
