Westport physician gets prison term for travel expenses

A former Yale School of Medicine department chair and Westport entrepreneur was sentenced to a year in prison after being convicted of drawing more than $580,000 in travel reimbursements from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Jean-Francois Geschwind, a 53-year-old radiologist and resident of Westport, admitted to submitting travel expense statements to Johns Hopkins for reimbursement between 2007 and 2015 that in fact covered personal travel expenses, according to the U.S. District Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland; and for costs he knew would be covered by other entities, including by Yale University where he worked in 2015.
