DOJ Enforcement Actions

					
The  is the principal federal agency authorized to enforce the laws and defend the interests of the United States. As such, it oversees the enforcement of the False Claims Act, the foundation of the American whistleblower system, as well as numerous other laws.


The agency traces its origins to the Judiciary Act of 1789 which created the Office of the Attorney General, and the 1870 Act to Establish the Department of Justice, which established the agency as “an executive department of the government of the United States” with the Attorney General as its head.


The agency is comprised of numerous divisions with the Civil Division and in some instances, the Criminal Division, overseeing investigations and prosecutions under the False Claims Act. The  of the federal district where the False Claims Act case is filed also plays a key role in False Claims Act enforcement.


Below are summaries of recent DOJ settlements or successful resolutions under the False Claims Act as well as other successful prosecutions for fraud and misconduct. If you believe you have information about fraud which could give  rise to a claim for a whistleblower reward, please contact us to speak with one of our experienced whistleblower attorneys.

				 Two doctors and three nurses were sentenced to prison for their roles in fraudulently billing Medicare $11 million through claims submitted by two companies—Timely Home Health Services Inc., a home health provider, and Boomer House Calls, a house call provider, both in the Dallas area. The scheme allegedly took place from 2007 to 2015 and involved falsifying records so it appeared that Medicare beneficiaries received home health services when in fact they did not. The five defendants will serve sentences ranging from as little as 6 months to as much as 10 years in prison.

				 Nomura Holding America Inc. and its affiliates have agreed to pay a civil penalty of $480 million to settle claims that it knowingly misled investors of its residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) in the years leading up to the financial crisis of 2008.

Among the investors defrauded were Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, retirement funds, and university endowments.

				 Sudhakar Reddy Bonthu, a former manager at Equifax, was sentenced to 8 months of home confinement and fined $50,000 for insider trading related to Equifax's massive data breach in 2017. As a member of a team tasked with quickly developing an online user interface for 100 million possible victims of a data breach at an unnamed company, Bonthu quickly guessed that the company in question was the one he worked for. In violation of company policy as well as federal law, Bonthu then allegedly bought a large quantity of Equifax stock, specifically put options, which allowed him to profit if the value plummeted within a two week period. Six days later, Equifax announced the breach and its stock value plummeted, netting Bonthu more than $75,000 in fraudulently gained profits.

				 The CEO of Tri-County Wellness Group, Mashiyat Rashid, has plead guilty and agreed to forfeit millions of dollars worth of ill-gotten funds and property in connection with a $150 million healthcare fraud. Over the course of almost 10 years, Rashid and physicians working in his pain clinics allegedly prescribed millions of units of medically unnecessary painkillers to Medicare beneficiaries, whom they also subjected to medically unnecessary but expensive injections. A similar fraud was repeated at laboratories owned by Rashid, with medically unnecessary but expensive urine tests for drugs. When Medicare realized that none of the claims were reimbursable, Rashid and others created fake companies to perpetuate the fraud.

				 Indal Technologies Inc. has agreed to pay $3.5 million to settle claims that it violated the False Claims Act by knowingly selling the U.S. Navy helicopter landing systems that used substandard steel. The alleged fraud by Indal Technologies involved the substitution of a stronger steel for a weaker, less inexpensive steel in a component that helps secure a landing helicopter onto certain Navy destroyers. Due to the possibility of rough winds and seas during landing, it is crucial for this component to be made of high strength steel. ;

				 A father and son duo has plead guilty to causing over $27 million in losses from Affordable Care Act (ACA) programs in twelve states, including Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas. Jeffrey and Nicholas White of California allegedly made a living from drug rehabilitation centers through patient referral bonuses and cuts of money paid out by ACA programs. To maximize their profits, they enrolled participants in ACA programs in high paying states, regardless of whether the participants even lived in that state. The Whites also went to great lengths to further the fraud, including creating fictitious contact information, paying patients' insurance premiums, and paying for their transport to out-of-state rehabilitation centers. They each face a maximum of 10 years in prison.
