  Will he loose his licence for this? Because he should. Anyone leaking patient data on purpose should never have access again.

    Iirc, his license to practice is the decision of the medical board, not the courts.

    If the courts find him guilty, the courts decide the fine and jail time. But medical board finds HIPPA violations, they decide what happens to his medical license.

    He can potentially beat the court charges because many courts have been stacked to be hard-line/alt right wing from Trump’s appointment of judges. But that’s different from the board.

    A felony conviction will result in him being unable to practice for sure.

  What I mean is even if he was facing the death penalty or 1 billion years in prison, he hasn’t paid, has he. The penalty has been added to cart.

  Tangent: I have no faith in the American justice system, much less in any red state’s “justice” system. He’ll get slapped…on the wrist…using some mental gymnastics about whistleblowers or something like that.
