The fraudulent claims led to $65 million in payments from Medicare, with one period showing payouts of around $13 million over ten days. Authorities claim Mohammed used physicians' identities without their consent to authorize genetic tests that were not medically necessary or ordered by doctors treating the patients. Mohammed is reportedly hiding in Hyderabad, India, and federal investigators have seized nearly $6 million from his bank accounts.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
