He did lose his medical license but he's also 63. After he's out, he's most likely going to retire.

If he saved enough, ha. You'd be surprised at how many doctors making $300k+/yr have less than a couple years' worth of expenses saved up :/

The longer he’s in prison, he’ll be closer to full retirement age, meaning he’ll collect a higher social security benefit (62 is the bare minimum, waiting until 70 gives you the highest monthly amount).
He’s essentially already retired now.

True, I merely mean that he may be used to a much higher annual expense than he'll be able to afford in retirement. Which is fine, he ain't gonna starve if he worked that long as a doctor.

I imagine that the $800,000 in restitution and any other legal fees probably wiped all that out.

Alan Reynolds' book "Income and Wealth".
I mean doctors in particular, but other high income earners in professional areas as well.
