Feds charge former Bay Area resident with $90 million in health care fraud

[excalibur]

Good grief!

Ninety million here, millions there, millions elsewhere, soon you will see it at $1 trillion in fraud.

This is bankrupting the nation and the Dems certainly don't care.

A 38-year-old Azerbaijani who had lived in the Bay Area used a complex health care fraud scheme to steal more than $90 million in government funds, federal prosecutors said Friday.

A federal jury handed down an indictment against Anar Rustamov, an Azerbaijani citizen who prosecutors said entered the U.S. illegally and helped orchestrate a scheme that involved filing thousands of false claims for medical equipment with the Medicare Advantage program. He is charged with 14 counts of aiding and abetting health care fraud and money laundering

Rustamov, formerly of Sunnyvale, remains at large, authorities said. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 for each felony.

U.S. Attorney Craig H. Missakian said the prosecution was an example of the type of conduct the Trump administration wanted to target when it declared a “War on Fraud.”

“Anyone who believes they can make easy money by defrauding such programs should know that we will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to identify, investigate, and prosecute such fraud and abuse,” Missakian said in a news release announcing the indictment.

Prosecutors believe that over nine months, Rustamov submitted claims through an organization he created called Dublin Helping Hand, seeking reimbursement for medical equipment such as blood glucose monitors and orthotic braces “that was not provided, not needed by patients, and not authorized by a medical provider,” and that the patients named in the claims Rustamov and his accomplices submitted didn’t know about his conduct.

They should confiscate all of his money.
They come here to erase our culture and loot our taxpayers and then call us islamophobic.

He should lose everything. The law in the UK means that if found guilty then the assets and money derived from illegal activity are confiscated. Its to prevent the funding of further crimes and compensate victims. Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.

Hopefully the DOJ will send an actual attorney into the court room to prosecute this guy (if they can catch him) instead of the lightweights they have utilized in the past.

Still, it is rather silly that the OP cannot write an accurate title. The guy being referenced--Anar Rustamov,--is being charged with 14 counts in the larger $90M scheme. Any fraud should be vigorously prosecuted so I have zero problem with that...but this guy isn't responsible for $90M in fraud himself.

And no, the DOJ will never make it to $1T in recovered money. Don't be silly.

Does that sadden you or are you celebrating?

Wouldn't it be good if Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden had found and eliminated over $1T waste/fraud? I dread to think how $much in contracts were awarded to family and friends? Why didn't all presidents audit the government? Maybe the others had their fingers in many pies!!

That is because we have sellout politicians and government employees and others who grease the wheels for this to happen. We see the Congress and their committee meetings. The Progressives are endless on a soapbox with method acting in their spiels. It works with a percentage of voters. They put the Republicans on their hindlegs. Any Republican who is in those meetings responding in the interrogations need to be vicious in return. Turn it into what it is. A clown show. Our nation is trending that way and Progs have their brownshirts in the streets when ready.

It saddens me when there is any fraud.

I just don't know why the OP has to lie about it.

Sure.

Ask Kristi Noem...she just got through giving a friend of her's a government contract.

The statist left have the answer to the problem, just print more paper currency & let the taxpayers pay for it through inflation!

You never see a politician getting busted for fraud. Could that be because they ALL do it and they cover for each other?

Thread 'Multi quote replies'

Feb 4, 2024

Some feedback guys. I KNOW what I wrote, I DO NOT need to re-read what I wrote in snippet form, so please DO NOT multi quote one of my posts, I will not simply read it.

You do not sit in a pub with a friend having a conversation and reply to something they've said in a multi quote way.

Now, when someone does it, I will reply that I do not read multi quote replies. The reason why I'm posting this as feedback is, some idiots still carry on multi quoting after being told not to. Please don't be that thicko.

In fact, I wish the multi quote option on every site was scrapped, then it means...
