2…………> Stolen Child  Identities Scammer Busted By ICE: LA

.

A San Fernando Valley man was sentenced today to 259 months in federal prison for overseeing a long-running 33 million credit card, loan and real estate fraud scheme using stolen identities — primarily those of children.

Turhan Lemont Armstrong, 50, of Northridge, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner, who also ordered him to pay 33,305,609 in restitution. Judge Klausner also has ordered the forfeiture of two homes – one in Northridge, the other in Perris – purchased with illicit funds obtained from the scheme.

The investigation of Armstrong was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Los Angeles. Substantial assistance was provided by the Social Security Administration’s Office of Inspector General, the Miami-Dade Police Department, and the North Miami Beach Police Department.

At the conclusion of a two-week trial that ended in May 2019, a jury found Armstrong guilty of all 51 counts in a federal grand jury indictment. The indictment included charges of conspiracy to commit financial institution fraud, financial institution fraud, making false statements to financial institutions, conspiracy to commit money laundering, money laundering, conspiracy to commit access device (credit card) fraud, access device fraud, interstate transportation of stolen vehicles, and aggravated identity theft.

3…………> Big Pharma  Scam Halted: DOJ vs Novartis Scamming Patients and Physicians

.

Pharmaceutical company Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (Novartis), based in East Hanover, New Jersey, has agreed to pay over 42 million in separate settlements resolving claims that it violated the False Claims Act (FCA).  The first settlement pertains to the company’s alleged illegal use of three foundations as conduits to pay the copayments of Medicare patients taking Novartis’s drugs Gilenya and Afinitor.  The second settlement resolves claims arising from the company’s alleged payments of kickbacks to doctors.

“Through this settlement and others, the government has demonstrated its commitment to ensuring that drug companies do not use kickbacks to influence the drugs prescribed by doctors or purchased by patients,” said Assistant Attorney General Jody Hunt of the Department of Justice’s Civil Division. 

“We will continue to safeguard the Medicare program from kickbacks and their pernicious effects, including the undermining of important cost-control mechanisms instituted by Congress.”

The Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits anyone from offering or paying, directly or indirectly, any remuneration — which includes money or any other thing of value — to induce referrals of items or services covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and other federally funded programs.  This prohibition extends not only to improper payments to providers, but also to the improper payment of patients’ copay obligations.

4…………> Epstein Madam Ghislaine Maxwell Arrested by FBI: Mountain Of Charges 

.

Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend and longtime associate of dead accused sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in New Hampshire, and is charged to have assisted in grooming minors for sexual abuse at the hands of the infamous abuser, some ten months after he died in a federal prison in August 2019

The 58-year-old, who lived for years with Epstein, was taken into custody at about 8:30am on Thursday (local time)by the FBI, and spokesman said they had been keeping tabs on her for some time:

“More recently we learned she had slithered away to a gorgeous property in New Hampshire, continuing to live a life of privilege while her victims live with the trauma inflicted upon them years ago,”said William Sweeney, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s New York office, after Ms. Maxwell bought the property, located more than 300 miles north of New York.

5…………> E-Waste Treasures: Billions in Gold & Precious Metals Trashed?

.

Billions worth of valuable metals such as gold, silver and copper were discarded as electronic waste produced globally, with the total jumping to a record 53.6 million tons (Mt), or 7.3 kilogram per person, according to a recent report. 

Growing demand for electronic gadgets, mostly with short life cycles and few options for repair, has caused e-waste — discarded products with a battery or plug — to surge by more than a fifth in the past 5 years, as the report forecasts the amount of e-waste generated to top 74 Mt by 2030:

“We are seeing a growing middle class in many countries around the world, which a few years ago were really typical developing countries. And there is a very large backlog demand here”, said Mr.Rüdiger Kühr, director of the Sustainable Cycles Program at the United Nations University (UNU) and a co-author of the report.
