A licensed Missouri chiropractor facing more than $500 billion in penalties for alleged false advertising of health supplements during the COVID pandemic says he plans to go to trial in August despite settlement offers from the government.

“I don’t care what amount of money they offer. I’m not interested in that at all,” Dr. Eric Nepute said. “The reality is the American government committed fraud against me.”
