Our Deep Dive takes us to Colorado to discuss the federal indictment of Thomas Sandgaard and Anna Lucsok, two former leaders of the medical device firm Zynex, Inc., for their roles in a massive $873 million fraud scheme. Prosecutors allege the pair manipulated financial records and submitted fraudulent insurance claims for unnecessary supplies to artificially inflate the company's stock value. The charges include identity theft and securities fraud, alongside accusations that Sandgaard engaged in bizarre retaliation against a journalist who covered the company. In response to these crimes, federal authorities are moving to seize luxury assets, including high-end real estate and a private jet. This case highlights a significant effort by law enforcement to address the exploitation of healthcare systems and the fraudulent activities of private investors.

Medical device fraud is very often overlooked.  It is an area that should be focused on and this is a perfect example as to why.  Let's Dive In!
