New York Attorneys, Doctors Indicted For $31M Insurance Fraud Scheme

The US Justice Department has announced that two lawyers and two surgeons in New York have been indicted on mail- and wire-fraud charges, for their alleged role in a complex $31 million insurance fraud scheme involving staged accidents that spanned five years.

The unsealed indictment was jointly announced yesterday by the US Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and the New York branch of the FBI following the arrests of attorney Marc Elefant and doctors Andrew Dowd and Sady Ribeiro.

Attorney George Constantine, the fourth defendant, is expected to surrender soon, the announcement added.

The court document alleges that between 2013 and 2018, the defendants would identify business locations with potential tripping hazards such as cracked sidewalks and potholes.

The conspirators would then recruit either ‘extremely poor’ homeless or drug-addicted individuals to stage accidents at those locations.
