Ex-UCSF employee sentenced for voucher scam
A former UCSF Medical Center employee was sentenced Thursday to a year and a day in federal prison for using the Social Security numbers of fellow workers to complete health surveys so he could receive hundreds of $100 vouchers good for purchases from Amazon.com.
Cam Giang, 31, of San Francisco pleaded guilty in July to wire fraud, two months after UC fired him.
