Yet another gender goblin running away (or attempting to run away) from an environment he thinks is toxic to someplace he thinks will be more tolerant. It's always interesting to me how many of these people don't even consider their own parents to be a "safe environment".
I guess the explanation for that is that they're raised by crazy people which is why they have such weird fixations on non-reality, or their parents love them and just want them to quit hurting themselves and they take that as proof that they're "unsafe". Many such cases.
$49 million in Medicaid claims, and hotel rooms used as bait, prosecutors say.
• Mikia Noble, 37, of Richmond-area provider ACE was indicted and arrested Oct. 28
• Prosecutors say $2M+ went to hotel rooms used to induce beneficiaries
• They say she signed patient records while she was out of the country
• She is charged in federal court

$150,000+ in public school money taken in a matter of months, prosecutors say.
• Derrick Spiva, ex-director of Synergy charter school in Lancaster, CA, is charged with embezzlement
• The school closed in December 2023
• The money was public education funding

$45 billion promised in 2008. The price is now up to $231 billion.
• California voters were promised high-speed rail by 2020
• Current estimates run from $126B to $231B
• There is still no finished track
• The authority could run out of cash by December 2027
IMO this is the biggest waste of taxpayer money in America.

30 years in prison for the "architect" of the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud.
• Salim Said was sentenced Oct. 28 and ordered to pay $44M+ in restitution
• Prosecutors say he moved $44M+ through his restaurant's "food site"
• He was convicted on 21 counts, including wire fraud, bribery and money laundering
• The money was meant to feed kids during the pandemic

WOAH: A fake fundraiser for wildfire victims took $1,000+ from 19 donors, police say.
• Vanessa Garcia, 39, is accused of creating a fake fundraiser tied to the Cottonwood Fire in Beaver County
• Police say it drew 19 donations
• Her first court date is Nov. 9th
IMO, people who steal off a disaster should get the stiffest sentence the law allows.

California's $126 billion train has no finished track, and now its CEO is gone.
• High-speed rail CEO Ian Choudri resigned Oct 28
• His pay this year topped $534K, and a possible $25K bonus was still on the table
• Consultant trips billed to the project included a nightclub, a cigar lounge, a tiki bar and an escape room
• About $600K was misused, and one consultant billed $86,500 in "travel time"
• The authority already lost $4B in federal funding

NEW: A Van Nuys man has been charged with running four interconnected hospices in Sherman Oaks that billed Medicare about $21 million, per the Justice Department.
> Armani Raffi, 59, is charged by information with health care fraud
> DOJ alleges nominee owners, falsified physician certifications and kickback-driven recruitment
> Marketers were allegedly paid $1,500 to $1,800 per referral
> Medicare paid over $17.5M; many patients allegedly didn't know they were on hospice
IMO four hospices with the same people behind them should have tripped an alarm years ago
42
NEW: A Los Angeles man has been charged with running a hospice where, prosecutors say, about 85% of patients left alive, more than four times the national rate.
> Geoffrey Jimenez, 60, is charged by complaint with health care fraud, per DOJ
> DOJ alleges seniors were recruited at community centers with offers of free care, some with kickbacks
> Transitions Hospice billed about $9.8M; Medicare paid over $8.3M
> DOJ says more than a dozen hospices he controlled billed over $107M
IMO signing up healthy grandparents for hospice is about as low as it gets. Check your parents' Medicare statements, folks.

NEW: A Whittier, California woman has been indicted in an alleged scheme that billed California's Medicaid program about $269 million through a single pharmacy in 11 months, per DOJ.
> Christina Mareik, 61, is charged with conspiracy and four counts of health care fraud
> DOJ alleges the scheme exploited Medi-Cal temporarily suspending its prior-authorization requirement
> Medi-Cal paid about $178.7 million through Monte Vista Pharmacy
> A co-schemer, Paul Randall, pleaded guilty in April
IMO you don't turn the alarm off and leave the vault open. Common sense.

NEW: A Texas couple has been sentenced to federal prison for billing Medicare about $14 million for wheelchair parts and repairs for just 37 people.
> Jeremiah Yzaguirre, 47, got 110 months; Maria Luisa Yzaguirre, 47, got 80 months
> They ran Southwest Medical Homepatient in Harlingen
> They admitted billing about $736,072 for ONE patient by claiming parts were replaced hundreds of times
> Proceeds went to crypto, a vehicle, electronics, collectibles and purses
IMO somebody at Medicare should have noticed the same wheelchair getting rebuilt every week.

NEW: A Los Angeles father and son have been charged in what the Justice Department calls the largest substance abuse treatment fraud case it has ever prosecuted: over $1.6 billion billed to insurers.
> Nathan Young, 39, and David Young, 71, allegedly controlled dozens of treatment companies
> DOJ alleges 'body brokers' lured homeless and struggling people to California with free flights, cash, hotels and drugs
> DOJ alleges patients were drugged 'to knock the client out' if they tried to leave
> Two Texas recruiters were also charged
IMO if this is true it's not just fraud, it's preying on people at rock bottom. Throw the book at them.

NEW: A 78-year-old Southern California surgeon has been charged in an alleged $134 million Medicare scheme involving procedures prosecutors say patients did not need.
> Dr. Harold Tabaie of Anaheim and Hany Malek, 61, of Tarzana were indicted, per DOJ
> DOJ alleges unnecessary atherectomies, procedures that clear leg arteries; some patients allegedly suffered extreme pain
> Malek, a chiropractor, allegedly posed as a medical doctor
> Part of an LA takedown charging 15 people over $1.8B+ in claims
IMO if this holds up, the money is the SMALL part. Those were real people getting cut on.

NEW: A Florida telemedicine company owner has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for a $46 million Medicare fraud scheme, per the Justice Department.
> Christopher Harwood, 44, of Fort Lauderdale, owned TelevisitMD
> DOJ: the company paid doctors to sign orders for braces and genetic tests
> $46.2M in claims; Medicare paid about $17.9M
> Ordered to pay $17.9M in restitution and forfeit about $10.4M
He pleaded guilty in March.
IMO 20 years sends a message. Maybe the next guy thinks twice before treating Medicare like an ATM.

NEW: The federal government is holding back about $1.2 billion in Medicaid reimbursements from California, per a CMS letter dated Oct 20 and the LA Times.
> Most of it is tied to in-home personal care services > CMS chief Dr. Oz cites 24% growth in that spending over 3 years, about double the national rate
> This is a deferral: California can submit records to justify the claims. It is not a fraud finding
> It follows a $1.3B deferral in May
IMO asking for receipts before paying is just common sense. That's how my household budget works anyway.

NEW: Follow-up on the viral Seattle EBT video. Here is what local reporting says so far.
> KING 5: Lam's Seafood, the store in the video, still accepts EBT, says it cooperated with police and has not been accused of wrongdoing
> KING 5: the $120 purchase shown was for a 24-can case, and the card's PIN failed
> Washington DSHS says USDA handles retailer probes and won't confirm whether one exists
> Separately, Seattle police charged two people with 5 counts each of trafficking food stamps; both pleaded not guilty
IMO this is what's being REPORTED, who knows how deep this goes.

NEW: A 72-year-old man has been sentenced to two years in federal prison for using a dead American's identity to collect about $217,000 in public benefits, per the SSA Inspector General.
> Simon Flores-Torres pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft in Kansas
> He used the identity of a U.S. citizen who died in 2015
> SSA OIG: about $95,811 in disability benefits, $97,095 in Medicaid and $24,269 in SNAP
> A 2024 passport application in the dead man's name triggered the probe
IMO the agencies ought to be checking death records against each other WAY before a passport office has to.

NEW: A Queens pharmacy owner has been indicted on charges he stole more than $31 million from Medicaid and a state HIV drug program, according to NY Attorney General Letitia James.
> Miguel Baron, 62, of Yonkers, owned Guardiola Pharmacy and Baron Specialty Pharmacy in Jackson Heights
> The AG alleges he paid patients with HIV cash, often $150 to $250, then bought back their medications to resell
> He was allegedly arrested at LaGuardia in June boarding a one-way flight to Toronto
> Alleged purchases: Miami properties, a Mercedes, a Lexus and 2026 World Cup tickets
IMO the patients who needed those meds are the real victims here.

NEW: A former New Hampshire hospital chief medical officer has been sentenced to a year and a day in prison for signing brace orders for Medicare patients he never examined.
> Dr. Steven Powell, 56, a psychiatrist and former CMO of New London Hospital
> DOJ: he signed orders for 500+ beneficiaries, leading to about 1,400 claims and more than $1.9M billed
> In one instance, he signed 100+ pages with 75 signatures in just over a minute
> Medicare paid $761,202.75, which he must repay
He reports to prison Nov 13.
IMO when the doctor's signature is the only thing standing between your tax dollars and a scam, it ought to take longer than a second.

NEW: A Cape Cod man has PLEADED GUILTY to laundering money from a $6 MILLION Medicare fraud scheme run through a New Hampshire medical supply company, per DOJ
Leo Anzivino Jr., 35, was the straw owner. Seniors got braces they never asked for, and some mailed them BACK with notes reading "FRAUD!!"
Medicare paid more than $3 MILLION. He wired out about $1.49 MILLION.
The seniors caught it before the system did.
IMO those folks deserve a medal. Read your Medicare statements, people.
