. The former CEO of DocGo, a health services company that’s serving as a middleman for transportation and housing for migrants sent from New York City to Upstate communities, is still getting paid by the company. Anthony Capone resigned in September after he admitted to lying about his educational record. This was first reported by The Times Union.
A recent public Securities and Exchange Commission filing from DocGo explains a transition agreement that keeps Capone employed in a consulting role. That term ends in March 2024, with Capone getting a paycheck of $45,000 each month.Capone’s manufactured background was just the tip of the iceberg for DocGo. New York Attorney General Letitia James in August launched an investigation into the company over claims of mistreatment.
A representative for DocGo shared with CBS 6 an October 10 report from the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance . The review looked at hotels that are housing migrants, including three in Albany County and one in Schenectady County. According to the OTDA, those sites were clean and in good condition; the adults and children were provided with proper resources like food, transportation, and medical services.
