The news as it trends.
Zakia Khan, owner of senior care facilities in Coney Island, admitted to orchestrating one of New York’s largest Medicaid fraud schemes—totaling $68 million.
Federal prosecutors say Khan billed Medicaid for services never rendered, exploiting vulnerable patients and siphoning public funds over several years.
The scheme relied on falsified records and inflated claims.
Now facing prison time and restitution, Khan’s guilty plea underscores the urgent need for tighter oversight in elder care and government-funded health programs.
Officials warn: more arrests may follow.
