On July 7, 2023, U.S. Attorney Damien M Diggs announced the sentence of 54 months in federal prison for Oscar Simon Ndereva from Frisco, for wire fraud violations in the Eastern District of Texas.
According to the Attorney’s Office statement, Ndereva created an intricate scheme: using a fraudulent healthcare pharmacy called “Healogix” he submitted fake claims to defraud private pay health insurance payors. When he fraudulently obtained the funds, he asked for them to be paid directly into a bank account opened under someone else’s name. The money was then moved around through various accounts in order to conceal the nature and source of the money while also structuring check-cashing transactions to avoid financial reporting requirements.
In the time the scheme worked, Ndereva’s Healogix submitted over 780 fraudulent claims that totaled over $5 million.
