MIRACLES FOR TEEN-AGERS TO PAY $90,000 SETTLEMENT
WAITSFIELD -- A Waitsfield man who ran a program for troubled teen-agers has agreed to pay $90,000 to settle a consumer fraud lawsuit
brought against him by the Vermont Attorney General's Office.
Michael Casper was accused of stating in a brochure for his Miracles for Teen-agers program to have a doctorate from a medical school
in the Far East his only post-high-school degree is Doctor of Acupuncture from a school in Hong Kong.
Attorney General Jeffrey Armestoy said Casper said he was a certified drug and alcohol counselor, but was only an apprentice. The
Attorney General's Office sued after Casper's business filed for bankruptcy. Under the terms of the agreement, Casper must pay $50,000
to the state in civil penalties and almost $40,000 in reimbursements to five out-of-state families who placed teens in the program.
