Yeah the FAA aeromedical and the Social Security Admin. started sharing data a couple years ago. I heard that a handful of private pilots got tagged for prosecution, but didn't know any professionals were that dumb.
Don't leave a paper trail, somebody might decide to follow it. Many of the feds seems to REALLY enjoy taking down upstanding citizens, it's a lot more fun than just busting career scumbags who think prison is no big deal.
