A former Long Island Rail Road station agent is getting his ticket punched for scamming more than $370,000 in crooked pension benefits.
Daniel Denis, 60, pleaded guilty yesterday to conspiracy and fraud charges as part of the massive $1 billion “gravy train” disability scheme.
“I made a false claim . . . that I could no longer work because I was disabled” when he put in his retirement papers in 2003, Denis admitted in Manhattan federal court.
His crimes carry a maximum 50 years in the slammer, but court papers say Denis promised to cooperate with the feds in a bid for leniency.
According to court papers, Denis paid Long Island orthopedist Peter Ajemian $750 for a phony disability diagnosis.
Ajemian is scheduled for trial next month, along with his former office manager and several other LIRR retirees he allegedly helped to file crooked disability applications.
