The FBI has arrested two former executives of medical device company Zynex Inc. in what authorities are calling a staggering $873 million insurance fraud scheme that betrays the trust of patients and taxpayers alike.
Special agents from FBI Boston and Denver field offices arrested Thomas Sandgaard, former CEO, and Anna Lucsok, former COO, on Wednesday for conspiracy to commit fraud and related charges. But here's the kicker — the company allegedly tried to silence media coverage of their criminal enterprise.
"This case represents a troubling abuse of patients seeking care, as well as the federal health-care benefit system," FBI officials stated, though that's putting it mildly. When corporate executives are allegedly stealing nearly a billion dollars from healthcare programs, that's not just "troubling" — it's criminal theft on an industrial scale.
Another Corporate Scam Targeting Everyday Americans
While hardworking Americans struggle to afford basic healthcare, these executives were allegedly living high on the hog with money stolen from insurance programs designed to help patients. The scheme reportedly involved fraudulent billing practices that inflated costs and cheated the system.
"The former CEO and COO of Zynex are accused of operating with a single-minded" focus on profit over patients, according to federal investigators.
But what makes this case even more outrageous is the alleged attempt to silence media reporting on the scandal. In an era where Big Tech and corporate interests routinely try to suppress unfavorable coverage, this represents yet another assault on press freedom and the public's right to know.
Justice Under Trump's Second Term
Patriots should take note: this is exactly the kind of corporate corruption that the Trump administration has pledged to root out. While the swamp creatures and deep state operatives spent years targeting President Trump, real criminals like these were allegedly robbing Americans blind.
The arrests send a clear message that under President Trump's leadership, no corporate executive is above the law — especially those who prey on sick Americans and try to cover it up by silencing the media.
How many more corporate fraudsters are out there, hiding behind their lawyers and PR firms while everyday Americans foot the bill for their crimes?
