Former Macon doctor indicted in federal bankruptcy fraud case

Federal grand jurors have indicted a former Macon podiatrist on four counts of bankruptcy fraud, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Dr. George Robert Vito allegedly made false statements under oath by filing documents in his Chapter 7 bankruptcy case in which he intentionally omitted certain financial details, including his financial interests as well as control and ownership of a number of corporations, according to a news release. Vito also filed an amendment in his case in which he allegedly intentionally left out certain assets including cash, income, furniture, jewelry, real property and corporations, according to the release. The indictment, filed Thursday, also alleges Vito knowingly made a false assertion that his bankruptcy petition and supporting documents were “true and correct” and that he provided false testimony at a creditor’s meeting, according to the release.
