Fraud Files: Financial and Medical Fraud Schemes

In this edition of Fraud Files we take a look at two schemes that occurred in New Jersey. One involving a financial scheme with auto loans and the other regarding medical fraud with a dishonest doctor.

The first part of the video describes how an owner of a used car dealership, along with three employees and a bookkeeper, were charged with conspiracy, money laundering, and other offenses in connection with bank financing scam that allegedly netted $1.4 million in fraudulent loans for luxury cars.

In the second half of the report, we tell the story of a family physician in New Jersey who was sentenced to 37 months in prison for defrauding Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance companies out $280,000.
