The Scooter Store is in trouble. The Scooter Store settled a disability discrimination lawsuit just a few months ago. See my prior post about the Scooter Store settlement. In January, a CBS News report suggested the power wheelchair companies were “ripping off the government.” In February, the FBI and other agencies executed search warrants at the Scooter Store’s main offices. The federal agencies were apparently looking into allegations of medicaid fraud. Now, the Scooter Store has placed most of its some 1200 employees on unpaid furlough. See San Antonio Express News report.
