The former president of Nashville-based Omnis Health, Inc. was sentenced to 35 months in prison for wire fraud and tax evasion, and fined $15,000. Robert R. Burton, 50, of Madisonville, Louisiana, formerly of Brentwood, Tennessee, was also ordered to pay $1,059,016.67 in restitution — $763,887 to Omnis Health and $295,129 to the IRS. According to court documents, between July 2013 and May 2017, Burton was the president of Nashville-based Omnis, which sold diabetic testing kits. From December 2013 through January 2017, he embezzled approximately $763,887 from Omnis by submitting false and fraudulent reimbursement requests to the controller of Omnis, claiming that he had purchased supplies and incurred travel expenses, which he had not. To justify his reimbursement requests, Burton fabricated receipts to include with his fraudulent reimbursement requests.
