The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has offered a whopping sum of $150,000 as a reward for anyone who provides information on the wanted fraudster, Herbert Leon Kimble.
Mr Kimble, 60, was involved in a large-scale healthcare fraud conspiracy that resulted in the loss of $1.2 billion, the FBI stated in a post on X on Friday.
“The FBI is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Herbert Leon Kimble,” the statement said.
It added that Mr Kimble is “a member of the Most Wanted Fraudsters List who is wanted for his alleged involvement in a large-scale healthcare fraud conspiracy that resulted in more than $1.2 billion in Medicare charges and affected thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, many of whom were elderly victims,” the statement reads.
Mr Kimble was listed in a new wanted list dedicated to publicly identifying individuals charged with defrauding the American people.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the FBI under President Donald Trump is going all out against fraudsters within and outside America.
“Just in the last year under the Trump-Vance administration and the fraud initiative,” Mr Patel said in a post on X on Friday. “We have captured and freed $8 billion in fraud from scam centres that were stood up by the CCP and other adversaries.”
