Federal agents bust massive $27M hospice fraud ring in LA

Federal agents pounced on a slew of alleged medical fraudsters accused of massive schemes in Los Angeles — including a $27 million plot to steal the identities of dead people — as part of a national takedown by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in Washington, DC. Authorities arrested five people accused of stealing millions in taxpayer dollars and charged five others, including a Van Nuys hospice owner accused of swiping the identities of dead people to fund a flashy car collection including a $530,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom.
