A Pennsylvania Superior Court judge was indicted on charges of money laundering and mail fraud in connection with a personal injury verdict of $440,000 that he received in 2001. In August 2001, Judge Michael T. Joyce was struck from behind at 5 miles per hour while in his car, prompting him to file an insurance claim for personal injuries that prevented him from

enjoying his normal lifestyle. He claimed to be in constant pain. Subsequently, Joyce was seen playing golf in such exotic locales as Jamaica, scuba diving, and receiving his airplane pilot’s license, as well as exercising at a gym and inline skating, all activities which he claimed he was prevented from doing in the insurance claim.
