Mr. Rostamian used his company, Med-Tech, to launder money as part of the scheme that allegedly netted more than $21 million. Under the scheme, “recruiters” would find patients and transport them to clinics in exchange for prescription drugs and cash. Executives for a California company, called Solo Lucky Claims Processing, also submitted phony claims for the clinics. The money was laundered through Med-Tech in overpriced purchases of equipment and repairs, prosecutors said.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said that a dozen people and six corporations were involved in the scheme, and all but one person have pleaded guilty, according to the report.
