Couri Claims to Leave Scamraiders But Still Has Not Given Medical Authorizations

Today twice-convicted felon James Couri unilaterally declared that he's giving up his Scamraiders hoax website to care for his personal health. He even went so far as to arrange to have himself photographed in a hospital setting holding up a newspaper "demonstrating" his alleged life-threatening skin cancer. One problem: Although Couri is well enough to make videos, motions and maintain Scamraiders, Couri has not complied with the November 11, 2009 court order directing him to sign medical authorizations to allow independent verification of his unsubstantiated medical claims. As predicted in this weblog on December 10, the ruse appears to be part of a scheme to avoid paying the $8 million he and his companies took from a respected New York surgeon.
