We're talking millions of dollars. 4 00:00:16,570 --> 00:00:18,610 But something isn't right. 5 00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:23,670 Chapman seems to have made it far too big, too fast. 6 00:00:25,030 --> 00:00:31,210 When you go from making five to six figures, one year to making $10 million 7 00:00:31,210 --> 00:00:33,090 the next year, that's an indicator. 8 00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:35,890 These are things that we look for when we're doing investigations. 9 00:00:37,170 --> 00:00:43,650 And Chapman's halfway houses, or sober homes, are anything but sober. 10 00:00:44,290 --> 00:00:49,370 Drug use was rampant at the sober homes. We know that Chapman himself directly 11 00:00:49,370 --> 00:00:52,370 provided the drug to keep people high. 12 00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:55,070 And beyond the drugs... 13 00:00:56,070 --> 00:00:59,490 Chapman further exploits some of his female clients. 14 00:01:00,010 --> 00:01:04,430 He was able to twist these women into becoming prostitutes for him. 15 00:01:04,650 --> 00:01:06,130 You know, he became a pimp. 16 00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:15,310 Kenny Chapman hauls in more than $16 million off the backs of vulnerable 17 00:01:15,310 --> 00:01:16,310 clients. 18 00:01:17,970 --> 00:01:24,130 Kenny Chapman saw a chance to make a lot of money and didn't care who he hurt to 19 00:01:24,130 --> 00:01:25,130 make that happen. 20 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,140 It wasn't like, you know, he's a really bad guy. 21 00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:32,600 It was like the devil himself had walked in this room. 22 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,180 It's September 2015. 23 00:01:54,410 --> 00:01:56,410 And Kenny Chapman is living large. 24 00:01:57,610 --> 00:02:01,490 He buys a million -dollar mansion in Boynton Beach, Florida. 25 00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:07,070 All off the proceeds of his booming drug rehab business. 26 00:02:08,889 --> 00:02:14,090 He's making his fortune by seemingly getting people off of drugs. 27 00:02:15,050 --> 00:02:18,070 I started using... Like these patients. 28 00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:23,280 who agreed to appear in this promotional video for Kenny Chapman's clinic called 29 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,540 Reflections Treatment Center. 30 00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:30,400 He's never, never, ever turned his back on me, never. 31 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,020 The owner, Kenny Chapman, has really helped me through a lot. 32 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,040 I've known him for two years before the treatment center was even established. 33 00:02:39,380 --> 00:02:42,560 And, I mean, I call him at two in the morning, he picks me up. 34 00:02:44,140 --> 00:02:47,040 Chapman certainly has some people singing his praises. 35 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,620 But are his clients really getting clean? 36 00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:57,660 Kenny Chapman's facilities had the reputation that you could use drugs. 37 00:02:57,660 --> 00:02:58,599 were available. 38 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,260 There were just certain requirements about attending treatment so that they 39 00:03:02,260 --> 00:03:03,520 could bill the client's insurance. 40 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,360 Kenny Chapman's road to riches starts modestly as a fitness instructor. 41 00:03:14,570 --> 00:03:18,770 But the married father of four also has a growing side business. 42 00:03:20,910 --> 00:03:26,390 He's operating several halfway houses, also known as sober homes. 43 00:03:27,370 --> 00:03:33,230 As the name implies, sober homes are domiciles where recovering addicts live 44 00:03:33,230 --> 00:03:37,170 together and are supposed to help each other stay clean. 45 00:03:38,190 --> 00:03:42,830 There are usually strict curfews. There's a house manager usually who 46 00:03:42,830 --> 00:03:44,470 that everybody's staying clean and sober. 47 00:03:46,270 --> 00:03:50,010 There's some neighborhoods where you have a half dozen sober homes there. The 48 00:03:50,010 --> 00:03:51,150 good ones you won't even notice. 49 00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:56,250 And opening a sober home is easy. 50 00:03:57,030 --> 00:04:00,890 There was no lights and things, no requirements to open a sober home. 51 00:04:01,230 --> 00:04:05,010 So you can go down any residential street in South Florida and take a three 52 00:04:05,010 --> 00:04:06,190 -bedroom, two -bedroom house. 53 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,300 Open it today as a sober home. 54 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,959 While living at a legitimate sober home, patients should receive outpatient care 55 00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:18,899 at a licensed treatment center. 56 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,120 Treatment is administered by a healthcare professional and includes 57 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,360 therapy and one -on -one counseling. 58 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:35,780 But with Kenny Chapman's sober homes and the treatment centers he works with, 59 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,840 a different rehab model is in play. 60 00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:46,380 With Penny's Places, people knew that they could go there and get high, and 61 00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:49,540 did not have to be sober. I mean, he was preying on these people's addictions 62 00:04:49,540 --> 00:04:51,040 and profiting off of it. 63 00:04:52,740 --> 00:04:57,240 Chapman profits by cutting deals with shady treatment centers. 64 00:04:59,020 --> 00:05:01,800 He started partnering with these treatment centers. 65 00:05:02,430 --> 00:05:06,470 and basically selling his insured patients to the treatment centers. And 66 00:05:06,470 --> 00:05:09,950 the treatment center collected money from the billings that Kenny Chapman 67 00:05:09,950 --> 00:05:13,230 generated, the treatment centers would pay money back to Kenny. 68 00:05:14,470 --> 00:05:20,090 A fraudulent treatment center could be a money -making bonanza, providing 69 00:05:20,090 --> 00:05:26,390 limited actual services coupled with enormous billing, covered by insurance. 70 00:05:29,070 --> 00:05:34,130 The supposed services provided, the therapy sessions, the doctor's visits, 71 00:05:34,130 --> 00:05:35,670 kind of thing, those were billable services. 72 00:05:36,130 --> 00:05:40,110 So if you get a lot of kids in the room and you have this three -hour session, 73 00:05:40,210 --> 00:05:44,270 or at least you billed a three -hour session, you're talking $40 ,000 to $50 74 00:05:44,270 --> 00:05:47,670 ,000 in bills just for that therapy session on that single day. 75 00:05:49,370 --> 00:05:52,090 Crooked treatment centers also make huge profits. 76 00:05:53,570 --> 00:05:56,110 Overbilling for urinalysis drug testing. 77 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,440 You're taking a $3 cup and turning it into thousands of dollars in fraudulent 78 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,420 billing. I mean, that's more than the markup on crack cocaine. 79 00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:10,680 Kenny Chapman does the math. 80 00:06:11,180 --> 00:06:15,360 Why settle for just the kickbacks if you can get in on the action, too? 81 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:22,120 He decides to expand his business and open his own treatment center. 82 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:25,740 But Chapman faces obstacles. 83 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,860 He has no qualifications. 84 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,880 And he's got a prior conviction for credit card fraud. 85 00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:39,180 The important thing about that was that it prohibited him from being involved in 86 00:06:39,180 --> 00:06:43,980 the substance abuse treatment center as an owner, as anybody who had contact 87 00:06:43,980 --> 00:06:44,980 with patients. 88 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,180 But Chapman cleverly buries his past by putting the business in the name of his 89 00:06:51,180 --> 00:06:55,580 wife, Laura, who was seen with him in this photo from a treatment center 90 00:06:55,580 --> 00:06:56,580 directory. 91 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,920 Then he finds physicians willing to sign on as staff professionals. 92 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,700 To open a treatment center, you need to have a medical director and a clinical 93 00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:15,400 director. And he was able to find people to do that early on. 94 00:07:15,930 --> 00:07:20,030 Some of these doctors at the beginning, I don't think knew what they were 95 00:07:20,030 --> 00:07:21,030 getting into. 96 00:07:22,090 --> 00:07:24,650 And so in January 2014, 97 00:07:25,450 --> 00:07:30,030 Laura Chatman opens Reflections Treatment Center in Margate, Florida. 98 00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:36,190 But Laura's involvement is in name only. 99 00:07:37,730 --> 00:07:39,510 Reflections is Kenny's baby. 100 00:07:40,130 --> 00:07:44,030 And he gets busy sending his sober home tenants to Reflections. 101 00:07:44,730 --> 00:07:50,810 for his brand of drug treatment and sky -high insurance claims. 102 00:07:51,910 --> 00:07:55,050 That's the whole thing, is you don't make any money if these people don't 103 00:07:55,050 --> 00:07:59,350 insurance. And the better the insurance plan, the more money you make off of it. 104 00:08:00,290 --> 00:08:05,350 But if their insurance starts to run out, Chapman's Treatment Center, 105 00:08:05,490 --> 00:08:09,230 Reflections, offers a sinister kind of fix. 106 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,560 He actually would encourage relapses. That would allow reflections to call the 107 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,580 insurance company and say, Joey relapsed on heroin. 108 00:08:18,980 --> 00:08:23,840 We need to continue to treat him. And that might allow them to get two more 109 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,600 weeks or a month more of approved treatment. 110 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,380 A relapse can be worth tens of thousands in additional billing. 111 00:08:37,059 --> 00:08:38,960 And to attract new clients, 112 00:08:39,669 --> 00:08:45,150 Chapman mirrors the legitimate treatment industry with evocative advertising, 113 00:08:45,470 --> 00:08:48,470 as seen here on his website. 114 00:08:50,430 --> 00:08:54,070 You'd see these beautiful websites. 115 00:08:54,310 --> 00:08:58,770 You'd see these wonderful pictures of sunsets, people riding horses, beaches. 116 00:08:59,270 --> 00:09:05,270 You'd see well -written phrases about recovery and addictions of disease. And 117 00:09:05,270 --> 00:09:08,050 turns out that these websites are just con jobs. 118 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:15,480 Jerry and Victoria Smith know the heartache of drug abuse and false 119 00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:19,640 Their son Skyler battles heroin addiction. 120 00:09:21,380 --> 00:09:26,220 Skyler grows up in the Northeast, the older of two sons. 121 00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:32,480 Everybody who knew him said, what a bright kid. He was involved in so many 122 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,790 things. He loved sports. He was on t -ball, baseball. 123 00:09:37,170 --> 00:09:40,110 He started playing piano at the second grade. 124 00:09:40,390 --> 00:09:45,830 He could remember pages and pages of classical music without even really 125 00:09:45,830 --> 00:09:46,830 studying it. 126 00:09:47,450 --> 00:09:49,870 There was a lot of great sides to Schuyler. 127 00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:57,790 At 16, Schuyler gets a part -time job, working with older kids, and things 128 00:09:57,790 --> 00:09:59,250 start to change. 129 00:10:01,290 --> 00:10:05,330 We were actually very excited because he got a great job for the summer at a 130 00:10:05,330 --> 00:10:09,290 local resort. He was a busboy, and he made a lot of money. 131 00:10:10,410 --> 00:10:16,190 But the other side of that was a lot of these college kids would stay out late 132 00:10:16,190 --> 00:10:17,190 and party. 133 00:10:18,850 --> 00:10:24,950 We started seeing that he was maybe drinking, and then substances started to 134 00:10:24,950 --> 00:10:27,030 come in. I would notice something. 135 00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:32,150 crunched up or cracked up on a mirror in his room like he was snorting 136 00:10:32,150 --> 00:10:33,150 something. 137 00:10:33,810 --> 00:10:38,650 We're realizing that there's drugs involved and we can't help him. 138 00:10:39,890 --> 00:10:44,850 After high school, Skyler's drug abuse progresses to heroin. 139 00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:51,120 He stole our car. 140 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,300 He was losing weight, things like that. His looks were changing. 141 00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,120 And our world was crumbling and falling apart at that point. 142 00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:05,700 I can tell you times where I was under the table crying because my son called 143 00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:07,560 up. He was high somewhere and I couldn't do anything. 144 00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:11,160 And there were times that I was driving in the middle of the night trying to 145 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,160 find him. 146 00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:17,120 Local rehab fails. 147 00:11:18,030 --> 00:11:22,950 And after meeting with therapists, the Smiths decide to send Skyler to Florida 148 00:11:22,950 --> 00:11:23,950 for drug treatment. 149 00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:32,490 I was so naive.

That's where I need 335 00:25:49,450 --> 00:25:50,450 to recover. 336 00:25:51,210 --> 00:25:56,810 Skyler falters and calls Kenny Chapman.
