Strange Tony,
A judge ruled against two financial rapscallions and April Anthony, the former founder of Encompass Health, for "egregious breaches" of fiduciary duty. As a CPA Mrs. Anthony clearly knew about fiduciary duties. As a Christian she is supposed to have a basic moral code, one above "earthly desires."
April's partners in crime? Vistria Group and Nautic Partners. I imagine these firms are similar to the financial rapscallions that denigrated our once great hospice.

Anthony and her greedy co-conspirators did the following in their "building" of VitalCaring.
At first she tried to buy the company (Encompass), in secret partnership with Nautic and Vistria, and then later chose to form a new, competitive company (VitalCaring) with her new PE partners.Anthony served on the board of First Financial Bankshares, a regional bank based in Abilene, Texas. Her board bio states:
... as a certified public accountant, Ms. Anthony brings strong accounting, management, strategic planning, technology and financial skills important to the oversight of our financial reporting, enterprise and operational risk management.Her board bio indicates that she founded Homecare Homebase, the crappy hospice software WCAS and TPG pushed on us after their summer 2018 takeover. Homecare Homebase made it nearly impossible for our hospice staff to receive fair pay for hours worked and miles driven. April made $422 million from selling her equity in Homecare Homebase over a number of years.
It's never enough for the greedy. All that knowledge, money and deep faith did not prevent April Anthony from acting unethically in the pursuit of even more money than the $740 million she had accumulated as of 2023.
I'm afraid this is the state of hospice, healthcare and more. It is sad as it is a form of death, the extinction of ethical leaders.
