FBI says it's uncovered largest medical fraud in US history
Story by Jenna Sundel • 1h

Nearly fifteen billion dollars were reported in losses in the most expensive healthcare fraud in United States history, Dan Bongino, Deputy Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), said in a post on X Monday.

"Today, in conjunction with the DOJ and our federal partners, we are announcing the results from the largest healthcare fraud investigation, as measured by financial losses, in DOJ history," Bongino said.
 
In all, 50 federal districts, were a part of the investigation that netted 324 defendants, 96 medical professionals, and 245 million dollars, according to the post.

Further information on the scope and subject of the investigation were not immediately available.

"We view the theft of public funds the same way. It's a crime against all of us," Bongino explained, adding, "Results matter. Talk is cheap. And this is not even the beginning of the beginning. If you're stealing from the public, or violating your oath to serve, then we're coming for you too."

More than 300 charged in $14.6 billion health care fraud schemes takedown, Justice Department says

WASHINGTON (AP) — State and federal prosecutors have charged more than 320 people and uncovered nearly $15 billion in false claims in what they described Monday as the largest coordinated takedown of health care fraud schemes in Justice Department history.

Law enforcement seized more than $245 million in cash, luxury vehicles, cryptocurrency, and other assets as prosecutors warned of a growing push by transnational criminal networks to exploit the U.S. health care system. As part of the sweeping crackdown, officials identified perpetrators based in Russia, Eastern Europe, Pakistan, and other countries.

“These criminals didn’t just steal someone else’s money. They stole from you,” Matthew Galeotti, who leads the Justice Department’s criminal division, told reporters Monday. “Every fraudulent claim, every fake billing, every kickback scheme represents money taken directly from the pockets of American taxpayers who fund these essential programs through their hard work and sacrifice.”   ...
