The Surgery Center at Brinton Lake in suburban Philadelphia had a profitable 2008, its first year in the black since it opened in December 2005. Just one problem: The profits are gone. Every last cent. And it's not the economy's doing. It's an alleged embezzler's: Joseph Grostas, 35, the ASC's business manager of 18 months, whom police arrested last month and charged with 270 counts of theft and related offenses for stealing at least $180,000 from the center.
