For many years, Ron Halstead D.C., a non-practicing chiropractor, worked as a healthcare consultant who presented well-publicized seminars to chiropractors on how to boost their incomes. On February 4, 2003, a federal jury in Clarksburg, West Virginia found Halstead guilty of conspiracy, healthcare fraud, and money laundering in connection with advice he gave to Robert B. Burns, Jr., D.C. Two chiropractors who worked at Burns’ chiropractic office in Morgantown, West Virginia, William C. Filcheck, D.C. and Scott G. Taylor, D.C. were also found guilty of conspiracy and healthcare fraud. Burns fled the United States and was fighting extradition from Ireland at the time of the trial.
