## Resource

The Justice Department just hit pause on healthcare fraud with a massive 450-person indictment targeting $6.5 billion in alleged scams across the country. Among the most shocking cases: former college basketball star Kerr Kriisa, arrested for allegedly swindling two victims out of $2.2 million by impersonating himself—including even his own mom—while spinning tales of cancer, farm debt, and organ sales. The scheme spanned from 2022 to this year, and Kriisa now faces multiple wire fraud charges. This isn’t just another fraud case—it’s a chilling reminder of how deception can devastate real people, and how law enforcement is stepping up to dismantle these elaborate scams.
