14 people accused of Health Care Kickback scheme have either pleaded guilty or are going to trial. Vincent Marchetti, Jr just was found guilty by the jury in month-long trial

$28 Million in Kickbacks for referrals for Pharmacogenetic testing! 🔥

Health Care Kickback Conspiracy:
EDTX trial for Marchetti, others accused are from several cities in TX, and CA, AZ, MS

so if $28M is just for the Kickbacks - how much was the pharmacogenomic fraudulent profits?

how much testing is that?

@jbadomics

Pharmacogenetic testing is a type of genetic testing that identifies genetic variations that affect how an individual patient metabolizes certain drugs. The illegal arrangement concerned referral of PGx tests to clinical laboratories in Fountain Valley, Irvine, & San Diego, CA

“Fraud on our health care system cost taxpayers millions of dollars,” said U.S. Attorney Brit Featherston.

“The defendant convicted today, and the others prosecuted in this large conspiracy, will suffer their fate at the hands of our excellent justice system”

All should know that an investigation and prosecution such as this takes thousands of hours of work by law enforcement and prosecutors. My hat goes off to them for their excellent work to protect the citizens of our communities."

If just these mopes took up 1000s of hours of law enforcement and prosecutor time with their dumb scheme

just think how many Millions of Hours Trump's Seditious Jan. 6 scheme is costing us?!?

so why are people wanting AG Garland replaced?
