And he doesn't care if he has to scam the government to get it.
So one day in 2004, he gets a visit from a judge friend of his.
This guy, Judge Doherty.
And Judge Doherty tells him that he's in a bit of a pickle.
He says his daughter was caught buying cocaine from an undercover police officer and that he needs about $30,000 to make the problem go away.
And in exchange for this favor, Judge Doherty promises to approve all of Eric Kahn's client's cases.
So basically, every time Eric Kahn submits a case for one of his clients to get disability from the government, the judge will approve it, no questions asked.
And Eric's like, f***ing sweet, and they have a deal.
So Eric Kahn gives him the money, and Judge Doherty starts approving Eric's client's disability cases without even reviewing them.
And after a while, they decide to solidify the deal and make it permanent, where Judge Doherty will keep approving all of Eric Kahn's client cases, and in exchange, Eric Kahn will pay him $500 a case.
And this goes fine for them.
But in order for this scam to really work, in order for his clients to qualify for disability, they first have to get approved by a doctor.
So now Eric Kahn wants to get a doctor involved in their scheme.
So Eric Kahn goes online and he finds a bunch of disgraced doctors and then he basically pays them to sign off on these disability claims without checking them.
And just like that, their scheme is now up and running in full effect.
Like a client will submit his or her disability form to Eric Kahn.
Eric Kahn will edit them and make their conditions look way worse than they actually are.
Then one of the shady doctors he hired will sign off on them and then Judge Doherty will approve them.
And they do this over and over and over again with client after client.
So because of the speed and success rate of all this, his clients start recommending his services to other people and new business comes in.
