Ambitious Florida CFO Patronis and the case of the curious $50,000 political contribution
By Dan Christensen, FloridaBulldog.org
Florida’s Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis hadn’t even put a tooth under his pillow before his political action committee raked in the curious $50,000 contribution that foreshadowed his office’s launch of Operation Tooth Fairy.
Republican Patronis, who appears to fancy himself as Florida’s next governor, trumpeted Tooth Fairy in a press release as the takedown of a major insurance fraud scheme. But the case quickly flopped with Miami-Dade prosecutors after it turned out that no one had actually lost any money in the “$1.3 million fraud.”
