Casey Mahoney found guilty of conspiracy, illegal remunerations, and money laundering related to patient referrals.

Casey Mahoney, 48, was convicted of paying nearly $2.9 million in illegal kickbacks to 'body brokers'.
Body brokers paid patients to attend Mahoney's facilities, some of whom used the money to buy drugs.
Mahoney concealed kickbacks through sham contracts, falsely labeling payments as consulting fees.
He faces a maximum penalty of decades in prison, with sentencing scheduled for January 17, 2025.
The case highlights ongoing efforts to combat health care fraud under the Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act (EKRA).
