The Department of Justice announced the largest coordinated health care fraud takedown in its history, charging 324 defendants for alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately $14,660,000,000 in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, and other health care programs. Key points emphasized: - First, these health care fraud schemes affect every hardworking American family. The announcement states that criminals didn’t just steal money from others; they stole from taxpayers who fund these programs. Every fraudulent claim, fake billing, and kickback scheme represents money taken from American taxpayers, driving up the national deficit and threatening the long-term viability of health care for seniors, disabled Americans, and vulnerable citizens. The enforcement action involves seizure of cash as well as luxury vehicles and properties, returning real money to taxpayers and to government health care programs. - Second, there is a disturbing trend of transnational criminal organizations engaging in increasingly sophisticated schemes. The takedown identifies and charges defendants operating from Russia, Eastern Europe, Pakistan, and other foreign countries, who have infiltrated the U.S. health care system to steal taxpayer dollars. An example described involves a sophisticated operation run from Russia and Eastern Europe that bought dozens of medical supply companies in the United States and submitted more than $10,000,000,000 in fraudulent health care claims to Medicare. This operation used the stolen identities of more than 1,000,000 Americans spanning all 50 states. Federal agents intercepted and arrested key members of that organization at U.S. airports and the U.S.–Mexico border, cutting off their escape routes. The days of transnational criminal organizations using the American health care programs as their personal piggy bank are over. - Third, 74 defendants, including medical professionals, were charged, highlighting those who fueled America’s deadly opioid crisis for personal profit. Pill mill operators who prescribed unnecessary opioids were charged, and networks of corrupt pharmacies that distributed drugs to addicts and dealers were dismantled, feeding the addiction crisis that has devastated communities. This is described as a staggering breach of trust, and the Department’s Criminal Division will prosecute these criminals aggressively, equating them with drug dealers. - Fourth, some defendants targeted vulnerable citizens in nursing homes, individuals with disabilities, and those battling serious illnesses. Prosecutors charged seven defendants, including five medical professionals, in connection with approximately $1,000,000,000 in fraudulent claims to Medicare and other health care benefit programs for performing medically unnecessary skin grass on dying patients as they sought to spend their final days with dignity and peace. This conduct is described as callous and disturbing, reflecting a breach of trust between patients, families, and providers. The overall message: today’s enforcement action represents the largest health care fraud takedown in American history, signaling the beginning of a new era of aggressive prosecution and data-driven prevention.

Ukrainian police have dismantled an Israeli-run organ trafficking network that recruited donors to send body parts to Israel. The network, led by an Israeli man, supplied organs to pre-ordered recipients in Israel. Twelve people, mostly Israelis, were arrested for their involvement. The network primarily sought kidneys and paid donors up to $10,000 per organ, which were then sold for over $200,000. Ukraine's interior ministry revealed that impoverished young women were the main organ donors. This is not the first time Israelis have been implicated in organ trafficking, as a Swedish journalist previously reported Israeli soldiers killing young Palestinians for their organs.

A warning from the San Francisco FBI to parents about an international predatory network called seven six four that is using seemingly innocent games to target children in violent ways. The FBI announced the arrest of two leaders, Prasad Nepal (20, North Carolina; username Trippie) and Leonidas Varigianus (US citizen, arrested in Greece; nickname War). The danger remains, with ongoing investigations across the country (more than 250 investigations under 55 field offices). Investigative reporting describes how seven six four predators scout online games like Minecraft and Roblox and also use groups on social platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook that focus on self-harm and eating disorders to identify vulnerable girls. A mother describes how her 15-year-old daughter became involved after a seven six four member contacted her; others joined in. Once a predator has sensitive information or a photo of a girl, they threaten to expose her to family or school if she won’t comply. They also sometimes call in fake crisis reports at the victim’s home, a practice known as swatting. A survivor describes being pressured to livestream harmful acts and to kill a cat; the same individual who pressured her to take her life also sent her a suicide manual. The latest federal complaint filed last month names Prasad Nepal and Leonidas Varigianus as leaders. The story notes that victims can be male as well. There are diverse motivations within the group, including an accelerationist ideology aimed at the downfall of society. The FBI’s San Francisco office leader states the agency has more than 250 investigations underway, with collaboration across federal, state, and local partners for training and awareness to combat the threat. The group has a history of arrests: Henry Ayala, 28, from the San Fernando Valley, charged with child pornography last month; Richard Densmore, 47, from Michigan, sentenced to 30 years for exploiting a child. Densmore spoke on Discord before his arrest, describing involvement with others in a “cult.” Becca Spinks, a self-defense advocate and investigator, notes that taking down leaders is a first move but the threat remains. A pessimistic view is presented that the problem may be too large to stop, with fears that a child could be targeted by someone in their own neighborhood. The mother’s daughter is set to testify in at least one case; victims are young, but so are some predators, including several teen seven six four members who have been arrested. Victims can be male too. The story emphasizes parental involvement and monitoring of children’s online activity, and mentions that Minecraft, Roblox, and Discord say they’re aware of the issue and taking steps to stop predators. The origin of the group’s name: the founder, from Texas, chose seven six four because 764 was the start of his ZIP code.

I'm Matthew Galiotti, head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division. Today we announce the largest coordinated health care fraud takedown in the history of the Department of Justice. We are announcing charges against three twenty four defendants for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately $14,600,000,000 in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid and other health care programs. In a takedown this large, I can't possibly describe all of the work that went into dismantling each scheme. But there are four key points that bear emphasizing. First, these health care fraud schemes mean for every hardworking American family. These criminals didn't just steal someone else's money. They stole from you. Every fraudulent claim, every fake billing, every kickback scheme represents money taken directly from the pockets of American taxpayers who fund these essential programs through their hard work and sacrifice. And when criminals defraud these programs, they're not just committing theft. They're driving up our national deficit and threatening the long term viability of health care for seniors, disabled Americans and our most vulnerable citizens. This enforcement action involves the seizure of cash as well as luxury vehicles and properties returning real money to American taxpayers and to our government health care programs. Second, we are seeing a disturbing trend of transnational criminal organizations engaging in increasingly sophisticated and complex criminal schemes that defraud the American health care system. As part of this takedown, we've identified and charged defendants operating from Russia, Eastern Europe, Pakistan and other foreign countries. As just one example, we dismantled a scheme involving a sophisticated operation run from Russia and Eastern Europe that strategically bought dozens of medical supply companies in The United States and submitted more than $10,000,000,000 in fraudulent health care claims to Medicare. To make matters worse, these perpetrators used the stolen identities of more than 1,000,000 Americans spanning all 50 states to perpetrate this scheme and submit these false claims. But I'm pleased to report that federal agents intercepted and arrested key members of that organization at US airports and The US Mexico border, cutting off their intended escape routes. The days of transnational criminal organizations using the American health care programs as their personal piggy bank are over. Third, this takedown resulted in criminal charges against 74 defendants, including medical professionals who fueled America's deadly opioid crisis for personal profit. These are not isolated instances of poor judgment. These are calculated schemes designed to exploit Americans struggling with addiction while enriching the very people who were duty bound to help them heal. We charged pill mill operators who prescribed unnecessary opioids. We dismantled networks of corrupt pharmacies that existed solely to distribute drugs to addicts and dealers, feeding the addiction crisis that has devastated so many American communities. Fourth, many of the defendants charged as part of this takedown specifically targeted our most vulnerable citizens, elderly Americans in nursing homes, individuals with disabilities, those battling illnesses, and more. For example, our prosecutors charged seven defendants, including five medical professionals, in connection with approximately $1,000,000,000 in fraudulent claims to Medicare and other health care benefit programs for performing medically unnecessary skin grass on dying patients as they were seeking to spend their final days with dignity and peace. That conduct is exactly as callous and disturbing as it sounds. Patients and their families trusted these providers with their lives. Instead of receiving care, they became victims of elaborate criminal schemes.

A grand jury in D.C. indicted 12 Russian military officers for conspiring to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. 11 defendants are charged with hacking computers, stealing documents, and releasing them to interfere in the election. One of those 11, plus a 12th officer, are charged with infiltrating computers of organizations administering elections, including state boards and software suppliers. The defendants worked for two units of the GRU, Russia's main intelligence directorate, engaging in cyber operations. They used spear phishing and malicious software to steal information from a presidential campaign, a congressional campaign committee, and a national political committee. They created fictitious online personas like DC Leaks and Guccifer 2.0 to release stolen documents, falsely claiming they were American or Romanian hackers. Stolen documents were also passed to another organization for release. GRU officers also hacked a state election board website, stealing data on 500,000 voters, and targeted a company supplying voter registration software. The indictment includes charges of conspiracy to access computers without authorization, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering via cryptocurrency to conceal Russian connections. There is no allegation that any American citizen committed a crime or that the conspiracy changed the vote count or affected any election result.

Joby Weeks, also referred to as Jobadiah Weeks, discusses his six-year house arrest and the controversy surrounding his involvement with BitClub Network, a cryptocurrency mining venture he helped launch and promote. Investigators describe BitClub as a Ponzi scheme that bilked victims of hundreds of millions of dollars, while Weeks frames the operation as a legitimate data-center mining business that paid members daily and built what he calls the largest Bitcoin mining pool in the world. Weeks describes his early life as a hustler who started small businesses at a young age to support his family, then became an entrepreneur who traveled to about 100 countries and founded and financed technologies in the United States. He explains that he joined BitClub as a member and vendor, selling mining hardware, computer equipment, and related services. BitClub promoted high-growth crypto opportunities and mining operations, asserting that mining hardware could generate profits and that their data centers—established in Iceland, Georgia, Norway, with power sourced from Canada and a facility in Montana—could scale to enormous output, with the Montana project described as 300 megawatts and the largest Bitcoin mine in the world. The government charged Weeks on 12/05/2019 with selling unregistered securities and wire fraud, and labeled BitClub a Ponzi scheme. Weeks insists BitClub sold physical mining hardware and not securities, providing invoices, tracking numbers, duties and tariffs paid, and descriptions of data centers and payments to participants. He claims the government raided BitClub’s data centers and seized assets, including miners and cryptocurrency, after weeks of cooperation and meetings with federal agents, including a controversial encounter at a Tony Robbins event. Weeks recounts being shuffled through jail and jail-to-jail transfers for eleven months, denied bail and a trial, with his attorney offering two choices: five years in jail innocent or one year in jail guilty. He ultimately signed a plea to secure his release, but maintains that the charges were misapplied and that there were no verified victims, citing a pre-plea assertion that “there is no victim, no crime.” He describes ongoing legal battles involving twelve prosecutors, repeated delays, and the absence of victims testifying or restitution measures. Supporters perspective includes claims that BitClub was a startup in the Wild West rather than a fraud, and that the government’s asset seizures harmed victims. A white paper with Attorney Alan Dershowitz alleges multiple constitutional and process failings: retroactive charging, selective prosecution, indiscriminate conspiracy liability, asset seizures without safeguards, discovery violations, absence of victims and restitution, unsettled regulatory backdrop, and erosion of speedy-trial protections. The white paper argues that under current standards the case would not go forward today. Weeks also references post-incident developments, including the Biden administration’s crypto actions and the Genius Act, noting the SEC’s stance that proof-of-work mining (as with Bitcoin) does not fall under its securities definition. He contends that early crypto pioneers faced punitive measures, while others who were early investors or promoters avoided similar consequences. Weeks emphasizes his belief that the government seized assets rather than seeking restitution, and he advocates for the return of miners and Bitcoin to make victims whole. Throughout, Weeks and supporters stress his intent to advance disruptive technologies and financial freedom, arguing that his actions were mischaracterized as fraudulent. They frame his six-year confinement as an injustice and call for the dismissal of charges and the return of belongings so he can continue contributing to pioneering crypto initiatives.
