• From April 2021 to June 2022, the conspirators submitted about 1.36 million bogus test claims through O’Hare Clinical Lab and roughly 466,000 additional claims via Texas facilities.
• They sought nearly $895 million in federal reimbursements under the Health Resources and Services Administration and received over $293 million before regulators halted payments.
• Ahmed allegedly obtained personal identifiers from more than 150,000 Loretto Hospital patients to fabricate orders for uninsured individuals.
• Ahmed remains at large in Dubai while Mohamed Sirajudeen and two co-defendants have been arrested in Houston or are set to surrender.
