Bratan Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Spoiler Armenian gangsters charged in $160M Medicare scam Dozens of reputed Armenian gangsters were busted by the feds yesterday for a “smorgasbord” of offenses that includes the largest-ever Medicare fraud by a single crime syndicate. The size and sophistication of the coast-to-coast scheme — which generated more than $160 million in bogus bills — “puts the traditional Mafia to shame,” Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara said. The ring created at least 118 “phantom” medical clinics in 25 states that used stolen identities of doctors and patients to rip off more than $35 million in taxpayer funds. In reality, most of the clinics were nothing more than rented Mail Boxes Etc. addresses, Bharara said. Charges were also filed in California, Georgia, New Mexico and Ohio, alleging a total of $163 million in fraud by 73 defendants. 3 Link to comment
