Show Notes
Eight individuals, including South Bay locals Tolu Aulava-Moala, John Nicola, and Crysta Richter, are accused of a $19 million healthcare scam. They allegedly defrauded the International Longshore and Warehouse Unions health plan and private insurers with bogus chiropractic and physical therapy bills from 2010 to 2023. The scam involved kickbacks for unnecessary treatments, fake patient notes, and inflated billing. The defendants face up to 30 years in prison for wire and healthcare fraud, aiming to combat the billions lost annually to such schemes and protect taxpayers from increased premiums.
