A former Margate firefighter who unsuccessfully fought charges of participating in a South Jersey health care fraud scheme will spend eight years in prison. According to the Press of Atlantic City, 50 year old Thomas Sher of Northfield, took charges of health care fraud and conspiracy to commit health care fraud to court last August, spending about two weeks in a trial in Camden federal court. He was convicted of the offenses in the multimillion-dollar scheme in September. While he was found guilty on health care fraud charges, he was acquitted of wire fraud charges. He was one of three brothers charged in the case.
