A wealthy chiropractor and his long-time girlfriend are swapping their $1.2 million Seattle, Washington waterfront home for prison, the Daily Mail website reports today (September 22, 2012).
The couple were discovered to be collecting some $2,000-a-month for the past eight years in welfare benefits -- even food stamps -- while living in the luxury property, driving a Jaguar, and traveling the world.
A federal judge sentenced chiropractor David Silverstein, 60, and Lyudmila Shimonova, 53, to 18 months in prison yesterday. Silverstein had been a successful chiropractor in practice for more than 20 years.
Prosecutors say Silverstein pretended he was Shimonova's landlord at a home on Lake Washington that she occupied with her two children. In reality, Silverstein was living there also.
