Casey Mahoney, who operated addiction treatment facilities in California, was sentenced to over three years in prison after facilitating a scheme involving $2.9 million in illegal kickbacks to body brokers. These brokers exploited vulnerable patients, providing them with cash incentives that often led to drug abuse and tragic overdoses. Mahoney's operations grossed around $24 million over two years, demonstrating a severe disregard for patient welfare as he viewed them merely as commodities. Though he didn’t directly cause the overdoses, prosecutors highlighted his indifference to their fates as particularly troubling.
Mahoney's companies made roughly $24 million during the illegal scheme that spanned two years, as patients struggling with addiction were illegally recruited.
The brokers received kickbacks to give cash to prospective patients, leading to the exploitation of vulnerable individuals who often ended up buying drugs.
