Aaron Beam, the former CFO of HealthSouth and an LSU graduate, has written a book detailing his role in the massive accounting scandal that led to the collapse of the Alabama-based company. Beam, a Bossier City native, joined with Chris Warner to write HealthSouth: The Wagon to Disaster. Beam served three months in federal prison for his role in the HealthSouth fraud. “I still have a great guilt that I played that game,” Beam told the Birmingham (Ala.) News. “I committed a huge fraud and this (book) helps me deal with it. Beam met Warner at an LSU alumni event, which led to the collaboration. “Aaron is an interesting guy,” Warner told the Birmingham News. “He’s got a quirky nature about him, and he’s got a funny voice, a little squeaky voice. He’s a really thoughtful person, though, and he’s really kind of an easy person to like.” For more about Beam and Wagon to Disaster, click here.
