BREAKING: Federal Health Care Fraud Sweep Charges 455 Defendants in Alleged 6.5 Billion Dollar Scheme
Federal authorities announced the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown, a nationwide enforcement effort led by Vice President JD Vance and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. The operation resulted in charges against 455 defendants accused of participating in alleged health care fraud schemes involving more than 6.5 billion dollars in fraudulent claims. Officials said the initiative targets widespread abuse of public health programs that serve elderly and vulnerable Americans.
Among those arrested was Jeannie Choi, 57, of Torrance, California, who was charged alongside Oren David Shachar, 59, of Van Nuys, and Abraham Shin, 66, of Corona. Prosecutors allege the trio participated in a hospice fraud scheme that caused Medicare to pay nearly 27 million dollars in false claims. According to investigators, Shachar used the identities of deceased Medicare beneficiaries to create fraudulent hospice records, while Choi and Shin allegedly received payments for each beneficiary enrolled. Shachar and Shin have pleaded not guilty and are scheduled for trial on August 11, while Choi is expected to appear in federal court in Los Angeles for arraignment.
Louisiana pastor beats up a man who allegedly threatened to r*pe and kill his wife and grandchildren.
Pastor Tony Spell of Life Tabernacle Church says he was working on a church bus when the neighbor's son started shouting at him.
Spell said that it is his job as the natural protector to protect his church and family.
"He said, 'Tony, I'm gonna r*pe your wife, I'm gonna r*pe all of your grandchildren,' and he said, 'The next time you go out of town, I'm gonna kill them, and what the F are you going to do about it?" Spell said.
The neighbors, the Sherwin family, claim Spell is not telling the truth, but during a press conference, Spell was backed by members of his church who say they've made multiple complaints about the Sherwin family to police.
Spell's attorney says the Sherwin family has "a large, industrial-scale camera that could see from across the street all the way into the pulpit."
Spell was hit with multiple misdemeanor summonses in 2020 during the COVID lockdowns when he refused to close his church.
"The Central City police are friends with these folks across the street. When Pastor Spell was being surveilled 24/7, it was with the help of the man across the street," Spell's lawyer said.
The pastor was reportedly arrested and booked for second-degree battery.
The communist Democrats have confused terrorism with peaceful protest once again, I wonder if 50 yrs in prison will change that distorted viewpoint. Shit, I will never know, I'll be long dead. 😆 🤣 😂
people who showed up to a protest outside an ICE facility and left when things got chaotic are getting HALF CENTURY sentences in federal court right now, my god
@KUTV2News Imagine what 50 illegals who hate Americans could start in 1 minute. I'm sure Governor Cox vetted the 300k illegals he freely let in during the biden administration.
Brandon would be a great Superman, has that look. Heck, even Batman for that matter. Imagine the Muslim slime either character would sling into the outter ether and beyond.
