EXCLUSIVE: Unsealed Records Name ‘Banker’ in Massive US Health Care Fraud
Money Laundering
Court records name an ex-employee of Bank of America’s branch in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, as the “banker” accused Monday of helping launder some of the $10.6 billion that a cross-border syndicate tried to steal from Medicare, Medicaid and other U.S. health-care programs.
Renat Abramov, a dual citizen from Azerbaijan who, according to a profile on LinkedIn that matches his description, worked as a relationship manager at BoA starting in May 2019, potentially faces unspecified criminal charges after allegedly opening accounts for six medical-supply firms controlled by the transnational crime syndicate, or TCO, from 2021 to 2023.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn announced Monday that 11 suspects have been charged with money laundering, making false statements and other crimes linked to the scheme. In a separate statement, the Justice Department disclosed Monday that “a banker who facilitated the money laundering of fraud proceeds … through a U.S.-based bank” had also been detained.
