Father and son charged in $1.6B Southern California rehab insurance fraud scheme
Federal prosecutors have charged Nathan Young, 39, and David Young, 71, with running a sober-living network that allegedly supplied illegal drugs and kickbacks to keep addicts in treatment solely to bill insurers. The Justice Department says the scheme generated more than $1.6 billion in claims and over $210 million in payouts between 2020 and 2026, with patients discarded once their coverage was exhausted.
