CEO of NYC migrant contractor DocGo resigns after allegedly lying about college credentials
The CEO of the controversial New York migrant contractor DocGo has abruptly resigned — after getting caught allegedly lying about his educational background.
The publicly traded company divulged CEO Anthony Capone’s departure in a terse statement provided to the Securities Exchange and Commission on Friday.
“On September 15, 2023, effective immediately, Anthony Capone resigned as the Chief Executive Officer of DocGo Inc. (the “Company”) and from all other positions with the Company due to personal reasons,” the statement filed with the SEC said.
Capone’s exodus came a day after the upstate Times Union said the CEO lied about his college credentials.
In his professional biography and an earlier SEC filing, Capone claimed to have earned a master’s degree in computer science from Clarkson University in St. Lawrence County.
“Mr. Capone earned his undergraduate degree from the State University of New York College at Potsdam and his M.S. in computer science from Clarkson University,” the SEC filing says.
Capone also touted his reputed education to investors last month when he allegedly said he had a graduate degree from Clarkson while talking about his company’s bid to win government contracts to provide services to migrants pouring into New York from the southern border.
“My graduate degree is in computational learning theory, which is a subset of artificial intelligence,” Capone claimed to the group Aug. 9, according to the Times Union.
Clarkson University told the Times Union that Capone neither attended the college nor earned a degree there, while the former DocGo Ceo has acknowledged he has no master’s degree. SUNY Potsdam would not say whether Capone received an undergraduate degree there.
When confronted by the Times Union on Thursday, Capone said the falsified graduate degree listed in his biography was an “inaccuracy” that “should have been corrected.”
“I want to address a serious issue concerning incorrect information about my educational background,” Capone wrote.
“I must clarify immediately: I do not have a master’s degree from Clarkson University, nor from any other institution. This inaccuracy should have been corrected, and I deeply apologize for this error. I do, however, have an undergraduate computer science degree with a focus in artificial intelligence from an accredited university.
“I take full responsibility and am making immediate corrections to all official bios, profiles and any other materials where this incorrect information appears,” he said.
A company rep told The Post in a statement Sunday, “Anthony Capone has decided to resign as CEO of DocGo for personal reasons.
“The company is grateful for his leadership throughout his tenure at DocGo. Current President and COO Lee Bienstock has assumed the role of CEO, and we have full confidence in his ability to lead the company forward. We remain committed to our mission of delivering high quality, highly accessible healthcare for all.”
Both the offices of New York state Attorney General Letitia James and Gov. Kathy Hochul have launched probes into DocGo over a series of complaints that migrants have allegedly been misled and mistreated by the company while being moved upstate under a $432 million no-bid contract from New York City.
City Comptroller Brad Lander recently rejected the contract, citing the company’s lack of expertise outside of providing medical services.
But Mayor Eric Adams’ defended the DocGo deal over the migrant complaints and said the city would proceed despite the comptroller’s objections.
One of the most recent publicized examples of lying included the biography of Congressman George Santos (R-Nassau/Queens), who admitted after his election victory last year that he never graduated from any college, despite previously claiming to have received a degree from Baruch College in 2010.
Santos was subsequently indicted by federal prosecutors for allegedly engaging in financial fraud and money laundering. He denies the charges.
isn't spock based on satan
The most overt nod to worries about Spock's physical resemblance to Satan came in the second season episode "The Omega Glory," when the deranged Starfleet Captain Ronald Tracey tried to discredit Spock among the native population of planet Omega IV. Featuring a primitive war between Yangs (a veiled reference to Yankees) and Kohms (a veiled reference to Communists), the constitutionally minded Yangs revered their version of the Bible. Tracey pointed out Spock resembled their Bible's depiction of Satan, with an illustration in the holy writ underscoring his argument before Kirk persuaded the Yangs otherwise.
