Lester Stockett of Medellin, Colombia, owner & CEO of Video Doctor USA, Telemed Health Group LLC, & Telemed Health Group LLC, pled guilty for his role in a $400 MILLION+ government #HealthcareFraud scheme.

They said more than 20 orgs may have been part of a bribery "cartel," Looks like they've been known as the #ProstheticMafia.

There were also accusations that device distributors were paying commissions to surgeons who used their products and "and often performed unnecessary replacement surgeries."

Looks like a few companies settled w US DOJ & SEC in 2017 for violating the FCPA.
