MiMedx can’t recover $40M from former execs

MiMedx cannot recoup $40.2 million from two former executives convicted in a scheme to defraud the company, a federal judge has ruled.

“MiMedx is not a “victim” under federal law and is therefore not entitled to recover restitution from either man, Manhttan U.S. District Court Judge Jed Rakoff wrote in a ruling issued on Sunday.

In November 2020, a Manhattan jury found that former CEO Parker Petit, 81, and former COO Taylor, 52, had entered into undisclosed side arrangements with five distributors. These arrangements allowed distributors to return product to Marietta, Ga.-based MiMedx or conditioned distributors’ payment obligations on sales to end-users, the government charged. Petit was convicted of securities fraud and Taylor was convicted of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, to make false statements in SEC filings and to mislead the conduct of audits.

Petit and William Taylor were each sentenced in February to one year in priso…

MedTech 100 Roundup: Small slide continues

On the back of several weeks of new records and strong performances, the medtech industry has finally hit a snag in its recent ascent.

MassDevice‘s MedTech 100 index ended the week (Feb. 26) at 106.65 points, marking a 1.9% dip from the 108.72-point mark set one week before (Feb. 19). This highlights a similar drop from the week prior, when the index slid -1.7% from 110.63 points on Feb. 12.

The slide for the index was inevitable, given the heights to which it had been rising, but it is stark after exactly two weeks ago, on Monday, Feb. 15, the index hit its highest mark ever, though, rising to 110.96 points. That mark set an all-time best for the index, which had previously been rising for practically all of 2021. The index had never reached even the 100-point mark before November 2020.

Still, the industry is in much better condition than it was around this time last year. Medtech’s latest mark means the index has risen 15.5% from the pre-COVID-19 pande…

Former MiMedx COO given same prison sentence as CEO for fraud scheme

Ex-MiMedx chief operating officer William Taylor was sentenced to one year in prison for his involvement in a fraud scheme.

Taylor’s sentence matches the one handed down to former CEO Parker Petit yesterday. Both were convicted of crimes related to the fraud schemes involving distributors. In addition to his one-year prison term, Taylor will have to pay a $250,000 fine, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York.

In November 2020, a Manhattan jury found that Petit, 81, and Taylor, 52, had entered into undisclosed side arrangements with five distributors. These side arrangements allowed distributors to return product to Marietta, Ga.-based MiMedx or conditioned distributors’ payment obligations on sales to end-users, the government charged.

Former MiMedx CEO sentenced to year in prison for fraud scheme

Ex-MiMedx CEO Parker Petit reportedly received a year-long prison sentence after a conviction for a fraud scheme involving the company.

Reuters reported that U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in his decision yesterday cited Petit’s age (81 years old), his current diagnosis of bladder cancer and history of charitable work as reasons that the sentence is smaller than perhaps it could have been for a fraud scheme involving distributors.

In November 2020, a Manhattan jury rendered verdicts against Petit and former COO William C. Taylor, whom federal prosecutors claimed had entered into undisclosed side arrangements with five distributors. These side arrangements allowed distributors to return product to MiMedx or conditioned distributors’ payment obligations on sales to end-users, the government charged.

As a result, Petit was convicted of securities fraud and Taylor, 52, was convicted of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, to make false statements in …
