Overview

• Dr. Jorge Zamora-Quezada was sentenced on May 21, 2025, to 10 years in federal prison for orchestrating a nearly two-decade healthcare fraud scheme.
• The scheme involved falsely diagnosing patients with rheumatoid arthritis and administering unnecessary, harmful treatments to defraud insurers.
• Patients suffered debilitating side effects, including strokes, liver damage, and necrosis of the jawbone, from toxic medications prescribed unnecessarily.
• Zamora-Quezada was ordered to forfeit $28.2 million in assets, including 13 real estate properties, a private jet, and a Maserati sports car.
• The investigation revealed a toxic work environment where vulnerable employees were exploited, and patient records were stored in unsanitary, rodent-infested conditions.
