Bucks County Chiropractor Charged With Arson & Lying To The IRS

Kelly Phillips ErbFebruary 9, 2010May 19, 2020

The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that Jonathan P. Wiktorchik, a Bucks County chiropractor, has been charged with lying to the IRS and arson yesterday in a March 2008 fire. The fire destroyed his office and neighboring businesses.

At the time of the fire, Wiktorchik implicated a gang. He said that he was attacked by Spanish-speaking gang members shouting “Viva trece!” which means, “Long live thirteen!”

Wiktorchik had previously pleaded guilty to insurance fraud and lost his chiropractic license. In that instance, Wiktorchik was charged in 2007 with submitting about $90,000 of insurance claims for phantom visits billed under the name of several of his patients. Those claims represented about 1,800 procedures that were never done. Wiktorchik was eventually sentenced to serve 6 to 23 months in prison, 3 years probation, and ordered to pay $50,000 in restitution and all court costs.

Wiktorchik also is charged with lying to the IRS. At the time of the fire, he was under investigation from the IRS for the tax year 2005. Wiktorchik claimed that his 2005 business tax records were destroyed in the fire but those records were actually in his home, and not at his office. There is no word on the amount of income in question or whether the audit will be extended to subsequent years.

    Yeah, Chiropractic treatment is the most powerful natural curing method. I also like this natural method because it, the most viable treatment method than any other treatment method.
