Federal prosecutors have indicted 11 Eastern Europeans for orchestrating a massive $10.6 billion Medicare fraud scheme. This indictment marks a significant bust, as the group allegedly stole personal information from over 1 million Americans to submit fraudulent health care claims. They bought legitimate companies, transforming them into fronts for their fraudulent activities. Investigators revealed they linked over 400,000 complaints related to unauthorized medical equipment orders. Although Medicare flagged many fraudulent claims, the scheme still resulted in nearly $1 billion in illegal earnings over three years, with individuals facing serious legal consequences if convicted.
