A former Director of Radiology at Community Hospital has been charged with

Billy Lynn Ferguson gained the confidence of physicians and staff who
worked with him at the hospital.
Ferguson outlined several schemes: buying used X-ray film to reclaim the
silver and hitting "hot" stocks on the "Kansas City stock market."
Though he paid out more than two million dollars to investors, the
government says he used new money from one investor to pay the others. The
scheme collapsed in 1990, and he eventually filed for bankruptcy protection.
