Kazarian and gang arrested by feds for Medicare health insurance scam

Many Americans 65 and older depend upon Medicare for their health insurance coverage. Thus, when a criminal like Armen Kazarian tries to take advantage from the elderly via a Medicare con, America should take notice. According to the brand new York Post, Armenian gangster vor (equivalent to a Mafia godfather) Armen Kazarian had been most recently arrested along with dozens of cohorts for a “smorgasbord” of offenses including “the largest-ever Medicare fraud by a single crime syndicate”.

Armen Kazarian had an operation being run everywhere

Kazarian stole over $ 160 million in fake Medicare invoices. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara explained that 118 face medical clinics in 25 states were used to do this. The invoices went to rented addresses and mail boxes many of the time. These were where the clinics were intended to be. All told, more than $ 35 million in taxpayer money went toward the fake bills Kazarian’s men generated out of an office above a Brooklyn, N.Y., auto-body business. People on fixed income can start needing short term installment loans with things like this.

Extortion, disembowelment and cash laundering

In California, Georgia, New Mexico and Ohio there are defendants being charged. The Post accounts that you will find 73 total defendants. One of the defendants is a 35 year old from Brooklyn. This is Robert Terdjanian. He is being charged with threatening to disembowel one of his extortion victims and is also considered the ringleader of Armen Kazarian’s team on the East Coast. In Los Angeles, Davit Mirzoyan was in charge of other illegal activity. He had been in charge of the illegal narcotics being sold along with the untaxed Viagra and cigarettes. Also in the realm of insurance, Aron Chervin is accused of recruiting strippers to file bogus automotive insurance says. Various suspects are accused of cash laundering via the purchase of Las Vegas casino chips.

The tale behind the recording

46 year old had been the first vor charged with racketeering within the U.S. as the federal authorities have recorded he would threaten Medicare patients who did not pay the fake medical bills put out. The Armenians are all preparing to plead not guilty. This is what their lawyers have all explained clearly.
