Fraud charges may nix Viable deal
Prospective buyer mulls acquisition of Rockville deaf-services firm
by Kevin James Shay | Staff Writer
A spokeswoman for the New York company that tentatively agreed to purchase beleaguered Rockville deaf services business Viable said this week it is now “considering its options” after Viable president John T.C. Yeh, three other Viable executives and leaders of six other companies nationwide were charged in a six-count indictment with conspiracy to defraud the federal government out of tens of millions of dollars.
Snap!VRS of Pearl River, a video relay service company, is “working through all the complications that have taken place since the indictments,” said Maureen Ellenberger, vice president of marketing. Snap!VRS agreed to acquire Viable in August, but the deal has not been finalized, she said.
Snap!VRS executives released a statement saying they were “disappointed at the magnitude of unethical behavior in the use of video relay service which was revealed by the news of the FBI and Justice Department investigation. While Snap!VRS was not involved in the investigation, we are of the strong public stance that the harm done to relay consumers by the wrongful acts of some individuals is unacceptable, but these acts do not change the critical need for this technology for deaf people.”
The national investigation concerns a Federal Communications Commission program designed to help deaf and hard-of-hearing people communicate with hearing persons.
Besides Viable, companies whose executives were indicted on similar charges were Master Communications of Las Vegas; KL Communications of Desert Hills, Ariz.; Mascom of Round Rock, Texas; Deaf and Hard of Hearing Interpreting Services of New York City; Innovative Communication Services for the Deaf of Miami Lakes, Fla.; and Deaf Studio 29 of Huntington Beach, Calif.
These executives fraudulently billed the FCC about $390 an hour to interpret calls between deaf and hearing people, federal prosecutors said. The calls, generally referred to as “r calls,” “rest calls” or “run calls,” were illegitimate calls often made by friends or relatives that would be billed to the FCC’s video relay service fund, officials said.
Viable is the central company in the alleged scheme, directly linked via business arrangements to five of the six other companies involved. Master Communications, KL Communications, Mascom, Deaf and Hard of Hearing Interpreting Services and Innovative Communication Services for the Deaf all operated call centers for Viable that generated and processed a large volume of fraudulent calls, according to the indictments.
“These defendants are alleged to have generated fraudulent call minutes by making it appear that deaf Americans were engaging in legitimate calls with hearing persons, when in reality, the defendants were simply attempting to steal money from an FCC program that is funded by every single American who pays their telephone bills,” Lanny A. Breuer, assistant attorney general of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, said in a statement released Nov. 19. The FCC program is funded through a tax on regular telephone service.
The FBI’s Washington field office, U.S. Postal Inspection Service and FCC Office of Inspector General conducted the nationwide probe.
Allison Polk, a Viable spokeswoman, referred questions to Ellenberger.
Other Viable executives charged are vice president of corporate strategy Joseph Yeh, a brother of John Yeh; assistant vice president for business development Anthony Mowl; and human relations manager Donald Tropp. The charges also include submitting false claims and mail fraud.
Viable has been under a cloud since a June visit by federal investigators. The company also has been hit with lawsuits filed in federal and state courts by employees seeking back payment of wages.
This week, Nicholas Woodfield, who is representing 114 plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt by former and current Viable employees seeking back wages, filed a motion for a default judgment against John Yeh, Joseph Yeh and Mary Yeh, John Yeh’s wife. The filing said that Joseph Yeh had requested 20-day extensions twice to answer the complaint on behalf of the defendants, the last one being in mid-October. The Yehs had failed to respond to the complaint as of this week, according to the motion.
It’s unclear what impact the indictments will have on the civil case, Woodfield said Wednesday.
“I’m sorry for my clients’ sake that [Viable executives were] indicted because that is not a boon to them in their efforts to receive unpaid wages,” Woodfield added. “Whether it will be significant or a bump in the road remains to be seen.”
Bethesda lawyer John Pierce, who is listed as a representative for Viable in the civil class-action lawsuit, said in an e-mail this week that he was checking with his clients to see if they wanted to respond to a reporter’s questions.
‘Calls should look good …important not raise red flag’
The evidence against Viable executives in the FCC case includes an e-mail allegedly sent by John Yeh in July 2007 to Larry Berke, the owner of KL Communications, which ran a call center for Viable, according to the federal indictment. Berke, of Phoenix, was also among 26 people across the country charged in the case.
“Your calls should look good — not too perfect and too long hours,” Yeh wrote, according to the indictment. “Important not raise ‘red flag’ for FCC to see it. Understand me?”
John and Joseph Yeh would pay friends to generate the phony calls, officials said.
“For example, paid callers frequently called podcasts — which were prerecorded messages, like a recording of a radio program or a person reading a novel — and would routinely instruct the [video interpreters] not to actually interpret the calls,” the indictment said.
John and Joseph Yeh used Mowl and Tropp to recruit relatives and friends to make illegitimate calls, officials said. Mowl and Tropp would be paid $30 an hour of phony calls and in turn pay people $20 to $25 per hour to make the calls, according to the indictment.
In a little more than a year from the fall of 2007 to last January, the Yehs paid Mowl and Tropp at least $162,000 to pay the illegitimate callers, and those fraudulent calls alone resulted in $2.1 million to be billed to the federal government, the indictment said. The Yeh brothers would instruct Mowl, Tropp and others to destroy documents to cover up their alleged misdeeds, officials said.
The Yeh brothers would also partner with KL and other call centers, and encourage the owners of those centers to make the bogus calls, officials said. The Yehs would instruct the owners “how to make the run calls appear legitimate” by varying the call lengths, numbers and Internet protocol addresses, the indictment said.
Snap!VRS: Critical to retain services
Because video relay services allow deaf people to have phone conversations in the comfort of their homes, rather than having to communicate via sign language in person, the technology creates economic opportunities for deaf people that were not previously possible, Snap!VRS executives said.
“Given the transformative benefits and opportunities that VRS has brought to deaf people, it is critical for Snap!VRS and other VRS companies to continue an ongoing dialogue with the FCC and consumer organizations to keep this irreplaceable service effective for relay consumers,” Snap!VRS executives said in a statement. “Snap!VRS will continue to operate as it has in the past, conducting its business with the highest priority placed on ethical standards and customer service.”
FCC Chief of Staff Edward Lazarus called the case both a tragedy and opportunity.
“The tragedy is the unfortunate truth that a significant number of unscrupulous individuals, at great cost to the nation, have preyed on a very important program for delivering essential telecommunications services to persons with hearing disabilities,” Lazarus said in a statement. “The opportunity is the chance to reiterate our commitment to the VRS program and to follow through on efforts, already begun at the FCC, to safeguard the program against further waste, fraud and abuse.”
John Yeh has long been involved with organizations that advocate for the deaf community, such as the National Asian Deaf Congress and National Deaf Business Institute. He was a trustee of Gallaudet University of Washington, D.C., which specializes in education for deaf people, for more than a decade.
In January, Deaf Life, a monthly national magazine, honored Yeh as Deaf Person of the Year. Last year, The Gazette of Politics and Business named Yeh one of its “25 CEOs You Need to Know” and Viable as one of its “Exceptional 53″ businesses and nonprofits.
A native of Taiwan who immigrated to the U.S. as a teenager, Yeh helped form a Rockville software engineering and integration company before co-founding Viable in 2005. The company grew from a handful of employees to more than 240 but has shed numerous employees and closed call centers this year. Yeh’s son, Jason, and a daughter, Mei Kennedy, both work for Viable but were not indicted.
About a year ago, speaking through a deaf interpreter to a Gazette reporter, John Yeh gave little indication of any trouble.
“The company is still fairly new,” he said then. “We have to be careful about what we do.”

John Yeh and his partners are very greedy, they obviously did not care about their customers. Well, they asked for it.
STROOPEWAFFELS said
a few friends of mine are still waiting for a refund from Viable, that they bought during the DSC conference in Vegas this past July,, they told her to be patient she would get her money back,, yea right doesn’t look like its gonna happen any time soon,, its a crying shame that a deaf biz felt it was neccessary to try to rip off their customers then try to plead DUMB and pretend they didn’t know the rules B.S…its sad but apparently we will have to wait and see what the Federal courts decide to do with these greedy SOB’s
lblucy said
This is just WRONG on so many levels. Makes me sick!
Visable Sucks said
John T.C. Yeh was a member of Kappa Gamma the cult fraternity. Good news is that he is out of Deaf Community because he caused everyone the embrassment and pain. I thought he was a nice guy but not. So many people suffer the deep debts and we are at the risk that it could take a “dramatic crisis for this country. John and his greedy friends are hurting our country and Deaf community so badly. I thought he was our brotherly friend but for what he had done to everyone, I lost my respect for him.
CSTINA said
you know that God don’t like what they are doing and stop steal from people deaf, I wish I know that the deaf suppose to get a free viable but I did not know I paid for 99.99 frin DSC conference in Las Vegas.
REFUND MY MONEY
Whoa! said
Whoa! You spent shit $39 buying Yeh’s court paper thin meat slice. Newspaper article thick meat news only 50 cents is enough. Com’on, dudes, admit you suckers big time! Nothin’ new about you! HAHA
STROOPEWAFFELS said
#6 do not presume that Fookem and Bug shelled out 39 bucks.. those types of papers are FREE to the public..You can get any bodys paper work from any court house if u know all the correct information. You obviously are barking up the wrong tree and you are not a fan of F & B ????
MJ said
What about Bonheyo and Bonheyo LLC (Bridget and Jerry Bonheyo)? They hired employees to make illegitmate calls, too. Birnbaum Interpreting Services hired deaf people to do presentations and then actively asked deaf people to call through VRS to earn minutes. We wonder why they are getting away with it while Viable got caught.
Anonoymous said
To Visable Sucks
It has nothing to do with the Kappa Gamma Fraternity. Several of the 26 charged people have belonged to other Greek organizations; however, the most important point is I must emphasize that none of these Greek organizations have nothing to do with this unfortunate situation.
LMAO said
I love this guy. Why? To see how fool he is after spending his money on viable mobile phone (VPAD). Viable is out of business and bad role for deaf community.
Need a laugh? Watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUgpHTgmys4
Kevin said
Kappa Gamma Fraternity was a major factor to Viable, Inc. Let’s count….4-5 arrested who are Kappa Gamma Fraternity. About 10-15 more hopeless, inexperience, and hard party type guys worked closely with Yehs. They didn’t contribute the company that much. In return, they got a reward job, good pay, clubbing, and gambling.
How could Viable benefit from those people? Should I name them all?
Oh wait, founders, and others are Kappa Gamma Fraternity and they certainly didn’t give a crap.

The article goes on to explain on they left trails of fraud. That shows no doubt on their intention of committing fraud against the United States Government and the taxpayers for personal selfish gain at expense of the deaf community instead of doing honest work. They got greedy!

That is a good chunk of money being thrown at people and business who don’t deserve it. They have mislead others and themselves for so long. They chose to benefit themselves at the expense of the deaf community. I say to have them prosecuted to the full extent of the law to set example for the VRS industry to ensure integrity so it can benefit those who really use it for legitimate purpose.
If the article is valid. The free ride is over. Now pay the Viable employees and return every cent that has been defrauded back to FCC! No more sugarcoating about their actions!
aja said
It is sad to see it to happen. Remember Mr.Yeh helped the deaf in Las Vegas to get the large donation money to cover the loss in DSA business. We should thank him for that. But too bad Mr. Yeh could not get our help in return. It is SAD.
STROOPEWAFFELS said
AJA what are u talking about ??????????? He donated MONEY that probably was ripped off from the deaf customers he promised to refund money to,, I am NOT impressed with his “large” donation.
Because of what Viable did, other VRS agencies are going to have to work 2 or 3 times harder to gain trust of their clients and future clients…plus handle the over flow.. Viable is probably going to loose alot of customers.. so they will be scurring around to find a better service.. They Yeh brothers are like rats on a sinking ship!!!!
STROOPEWAFFELS said
KARMA…………. that is exactly what I was trying to say…. THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disgusted Anon said
Viable isn’t the only VRS company defrauding the government. This defrauding includes ripping off every single American who pays this surcharge on their phone/cell/pager bills. I find it all disgusting and on top of it all, more disgusting that they only went after the most vulnerable VRS! Sorenson got slap on hand for something similar. Oh wait, I forgot, Sorenson have lobbying connection. What about other VRS besides Sorenson and Viable??? SHEESH.
Mike said
Aja, Mr.Yeh stole a lot of funds from the FCC and other governments. He made himself look like a free money giver. He did not donated anything out of his pocket. I bet that he gave a lot of money to Kappa Gamma Fraternity too. What’s about his employees waiting for him to pay them? A customer was not happy with his laptop and asked for the refunds. John promised but he did not give a dime to him. What was going on? He is not a hero.

for #17 thats fine, if you can show all of us proof that the other VRS agencies are doing the same as VIABLE,, then put it here..the problem is that VIABLE was CAUGHT with their hands in too many cookie jars …and got a tad bit too greedy..
So as they say ” Don’t do the crime If u don’t want to do the time “
STROOPWAFFELS said
Kevin this is what I found:
18 U.S.C. § 2
(a) Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids,
abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is
punishable as a principal.
(b) Whoever willfully causes an act to be done which if directly
performed by him or another would be an offense against the United
States, is punishable as a principal.
Aider and abettor liability is distinct from accessory after the fact under 18 U.S.C. § 3. United States v. James, 998 F.2d 74, 80 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 510 U.S. 958, 114 S.Ct. 415, 126 L.Ed.2d 362 (1993). An aider and abettor, unlike an accessory after the fact, is punishable as a principal. Id.

ASS_U_ME said
To who LOVE to assume, remember the meaning of assume is, “making the ASS out of U and ME”.
U fingered to Kappa Gamma that they obtained the money from Yeh, what an ass you are. It didn’t happened because Yeh is too greedy to donate to Kappa Gamma without recognition. In general business conception, they will want to be recognized for their “good” performance”.
It is very easy for someone who is not Kappa Gamma member to figure and read the between the line. You fingered at Kappa Gamma out of the spite.
Emily Simmons said
Yes…
David Simmons is now my former brother in law. He is a Kappa Gamma! Now I am curious to see if he will be “someone’s bitch” in prison.
He is the one who ran the Call Center in Austin, Tx. I have comments for 26 people indicted. You think you can get away? You can run, but you can’t hide. What you sow, is what you will reap. What goes around, comes around.
Mike said
Good performance? Are you kidding, ASS_U_ME ? Kappa Gamma (KG) fraternity at Gallaudet University has a long time unspoken history….humiliating, puerile and dangerous, fraternity hazers keep claiming victims. The punishment was both tedious and cruel. KG ordered pledge member to stand in a meeting room for several hours without moving then he collapsed and got head injuries. So many members got scars, bruises, bleeding, and damages when they were forced to do something or obey the bullshit KG! Plenty pointless brutality often happened and they still do that most people don’t really know. I don’t ASSume because the few past members broke the code of silence, I clap for them to speak out. A few years ago KG got four year suspension for what they had done to a member. So your talk is shit!

Kappa Gamma’s quote, “The Chosen Few’. John Yeh will always be Kappa Gamma no matter what. Accept the reality.
ASS_U_ME said
To Mike,
Those stories are occurred before 2000 (few years?). The brutal punishment were practiced everywhere in frats and sorority.
As I see, those who are against KG or whatever, those were rejected ones.
You must be the rejected one or being known that you will be not accepted.
Remember that people tend to remember the negatives not positive moments.
Rant all you want, KG wont go away and will continue their contributes to deaf community after you are dead.
???? said
FYI, when I was undergrad student at a state college, I learned that many frats did a group rape or date rapes by spike the drinks and continue the cruelty in their pledge programs. While I was graduate student at Gallaudet University, I never hear any problem from Kappa Gamma and other greeks. Gallaudet did good job educating those groups to revamp their programs as I was working at Campus Activities. All of them give excellent hours in community services. Also most of them were active leaders during Gallaudet Protest in 2006. Rethink please.
Mike, your comments were very old and outdated because they did service their time and reformed their methods.
Please look in current time and reanalyze the situation which we have right now.
???? said
One more thing, please put soap in your mouths who spoke foul language. It indicted your limitation of your vocabulary.
anonymous said
Emily, who want David Simmons to be someone’s bitch in the prison? He is f***ng ugly, but would be a real pleasure for the neo-Nazis to ram their cheesy ones into his hole to make David scream bloody! It would be very sorry scene!
Mike said
Assume, Only problem is the KG wouldn’t let it go if victims connected really good and would come back later and point at KG. No unwritten rules of school pain with pride and honour like yesteryear. It is not old, it is not about age but history. The wounds are still fresh. Sure KG might not go away but the history will never go away too. The long history of KG is old and new. More troubling still, the KG has either denied the problem or failed to deal with it effectively. It has a history of covering up. I was not rejected but I rejected KG. What an ass!
To ???, unless you are blind or loyal to KG, that is an understanding story but dumb! You must be one smart one, embarrassed by the behavior of the KG’s members.. not very good margins, those… and what’s the more? You’re bullshitting that you “never” heard.
anti KG said
I am not KG member and I have seen all KG secrets. How? Just be a good political, and learn how to infiltrate their security. I have seen their secret within KG’s chamber. It is nowhere near to Harry Potter’s secret chamber. I have seen the photos. What a mess. Someone will lit the mushroom cloud that shows all KG secrets if KG crosses the line. Just be smart, KG. Just like Yeh, they both should be smart at the court on Dec 15. If yeh crosses the line and prosecutor will present more and even more solid evidences then we, the internet, will mock them even more.
KG brothers, you have traitors, fraudsters(NEW!), rapists, sexual predators, pedophiles, and many more. Is it what they get for being different? Shame on you, KG.
“Good performance” ? LOL!

What did “KG” has to do with VRS fraud?
Anti Yeh said
Many and many KG members worked for Viable as employees and low-pay contractors.
KG members are insidious people. I ain’t surprised that they told FBI about Mowl and Tropp’s wrongdoing when they recruited them.
Some “run” callers who made on the top are KG. They worked very hard for Mowl and Tropp.
Mostly, They don’t mind when Yeh took advantage of them.
The truth will be told very soon.
Anyway, Mowl and some Yeh went to DPHH in DC and Gala at Union Station, lately. They were seen acting like nothing happen and poisoning his “kg” friends’ word.
Unlike, Tiger Wood made the public apologized to fans and communities.
Yeh didn’t.
Covering up the history like usually.
to ANTI KG and MIKE said
See see, itseems in alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll topics in deaf communities ALWAYS included KG. Move on, and let the justice take care of those 26 defendants.
Look at those 26 people, they are in deep trouble which you cant imagine how will it be like and how it feels. You can’t.
Sit down and think. Even few millions of dollars are not worth it as being an fuckee of disease stricken street toughen thugs. This anticipation thought is enough for those 26 defendants.
anti KG loyalists said
If Purple or other VRS companies have faced the same fate as Viable, Inc does and I shall not use KG at all. Why? Viable, Inc was powered by blue brothers. Simple as that.
Why KG loyalists are so blinded?
Should I sit down and think how he feels? No. He went to Gala and smiling around like FBI haven’t arrested and interrogated him. He acts like those reports made by mass media and deaf communities don’t exist. He didn’t utter a single word to his beloved fans, precious deaf communties, and ,of course, down syndrome community. Pun intended.
He is trollface. -> http://memegenerator.net/Instances/963/Troll-face-PROBLEM-DEAF-FOLKS-.jpg
Fu*k him and his friends.
STROOPEWAFFELS said
The Kappa Gamma is not the issue here, the issue is the 26 individuals who have been arrested, regardless if they were KG members or former TeenAge Ninja Mutant turtles, I don’t give a shit, the point is these 26 arrested were not arrested for the fun of it, the FBI and who ever busted their sorry asses did not arrest them for fun but they had evidence on them or they would not have busted them, now they did not arrest them and say WE ARE ARRESTING U BECAUSE U WERER FORMER KG memebers, no they arrested them based on what they did and with the information they uncovered..sorry most of those 26 have college degrees so they can not plead DUMB and PLAY innocent.
I am sure that the government is looking at the other VRS systems, to make sure their noses are clean too, other wise we will have quite a few deafies in a FEDERAL lock up.
Just to make this clear, and there is no misunderstanding, I am NOT a Kappy Gammy supporter, or a loyalist.. I am just pointing out that it was the ONES ACCUSED AND ARRESTED not the KAPPY GAMMY frat.
Now lets get back to beating up the idiots that were arrested not the stupid college frat..
Anonymous said
Well, I have worked at Viable for a very long time and I have seen what they did there. I am not sure why some of you guys emphasized that “KG” has do nothing with this mess. Needless to say, they ran the show. Also, helped Viable’ inc to expand its’ business and far reaching the deaf communities about it’s brand and service.
Without KG and Viable wouldn’t exist.
I have witnessed they hired KG and PKZ members over the experienced workers who could contribute Viable, Inc 500 times better. Ultimately, those experienced workers could save Viable, inc from this mess.
John Yeh, himself, is not really smart guy. Joesph shaped John’s career. John cannot write a letter that long. He needs someone to do it for him all time, literally. He usually makes more than 30 attempts to create a single video that lasts only a minutes.
Yeh gave KG and PKZ a reward jobs when they are inexperienced at them. For instance, what do social worker, and historian have to do with marketing and human resource? Those guys got a rewards job, automatically, because they are KG and PKZ while others have mastered at those careers.
I am not surprised if FBI has been asking KG and PKZ for vital information on Viable and Yeh. Those people treats Viable like a college. No, I am serious.
I have heard from John Yeh’s third person connection said that John Yeh is EXTREMELY upset about his true friends who have betrayed him. Those guys will testify against him. You will be very, and very surprised when we learn something new from media on incoming trial. The trial could last for at least a year due to more messes that need to be uncaged.
Yeh and Mowl think they will win. Why? They have some secrets that will be told at the trial.
Let’s see.
live long and prosper, mates.
Mike said
STROOPEWAFFELS, Okay, it is like Mafia, loyalty is very important to the KS, as are respect and trust. He is as tied to it as any other member, and his loyalty is (supposedly) 100% there. At least in the KG they still have a thing called “respect”. This situation could be the crime genre or not. There is something very, very suspicious here. That’s why some of us bring this up that FBI might or might not know.
Anonymous, Your story gave me a second thought. It is interesting. Thanks for sharing.

In fact, there should be more indicted but they were waived as long as they agreed to abide with the deal and testify against the low-life scammers.
Being deaf does not enable you/us/them to get away with it. Ya know?

John Yeh and his fellows know the dirty business that the FCC paid them unclaimed money from the taxpayers. John Yeh looks like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde character to the deaf communities. Let the justice take care of John Yeh and his gangs.
Long Live Deafies.

This is nothing to do with KG!! It is about people who are being so greed and it almost cost us a service… Glad that FCC people knew that the VRS is vital part of our lives and will not abort the service. Just get those greed in JAIL and pay their own price!

To respond to number 52 above. Jews have nothing to do with this. That remark shows how shallow minded you are.
Viable asked for it and Donald Tropp and Antony Mowl asked for it. 20 years is a long time to spend in a luxurious comfortable prison all paid for by us taxpayers. In other words, they’re still robbing us.
