Former owner of collapsed New Jersey nursing home group pleads not guilty

The amount of money is mind boggling. Joseph Schwartz appeared briefly yesterday via video teleconference to plead not guilty before a federal judge in Newark. Prosecutors say he failed to pay nearly $30Million in payroll taxes for about 15,000 employees. Prosecutors also allege Schwartz failed to file mandatory annual financial reports for his employees 401k retirement plans. At one time he owned Skyline Healthcare. Which operated more than 100 elderly care facilities in 10 states including New Jersey. Right before it's financial collapse in 2018 Skyline was in the process of trying to buy the Andover Sub Acute Nursing Homes. The facilities have since been renamed Woodland Behavioral and Limecrest Subacute. Schwartz's son Louis is an officer on the board of both facilities. The elder Schwartz is also facing Medicaid fraud charges in Nebraska and Arkansas.
