TRENTON, N.J. – A Monmouth County, New Jersey, man today admitted participating in a conspiracy to defraud health insurance companies through a multi-state patient brokering scheme in which he bribed drug-addicted individuals to enroll in drug rehabilitation in exchange for referral fees from the rehabilitation centers, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced.
Peter J. Costas, 26, of Red Bank, New Jersey, pleaded guilty by teleconference before U.S. District Judge Peter G. Sheridan to an information charging him with one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud.
According to documents filed in the case and statements made in court:
Costas helped orchestrate a scheme in New Jersey, California, and other states that involved bribing individuals addicted to heroin and other drugs to enter into drug rehabilitation centers so Costas and his conspirators could generate referral fees from those facilities.
Costas worked with several marketing companies to carry out the scheme, but one marketing company in California run by Costas’s conspirators was pivotal. The marketing company maintained contractual relationships with drug treatment facilities around the country. Costas was engaged by the marketing company to recruit potential patients, who were addicted to heroin or other drugs and who had robust private health insurance, from New Jersey and other states.
To convince drug-addicted individuals to travel to and enroll in rehabilitation when they otherwise would not have, Costas offered to bribe them – often as much as several thousand dollars. Once they agreed to enroll in drug rehabilitation in exchange for the offered bribe, Costas and the owners of the marketing company would arrange and pay for cross-country travel to the drug treatment centers in California and other states. Costas would stay in touch with the New Jersey patients at the facilities and specifically instruct them to stay at the facilities long enough to generate referral payments.
Costas and the marketing company often directed patients to different rehabilitation facilities month after month to generate multiple referral payments without regard to whether the substance abuse treatment was medically necessary or effective. In a conversation over Facebook, one patient told Costas that if Costas made good on his promise to pay the patient a bribe, the patient would enroll in additional facilities to trigger additional referral payments and bribes: “[J]ust get us [sic] grab the dough and put us in another place. . . . Get paid some more feel me. . . . I’ll keep this up all year wit[h] you. As long as you do us right.” When the patient later expressed doubt that Costas would pay the bribe, Costas responded, “Don’t worry. . . . I do this with SO MANY PPL [people].”
Costas and the marketing company sent patients to facilities in California and other states that they knew provided ineffective drug treatment or actually fostered drug use on their premises. The facilities typically paid the marketing company a fee of $5,000 to $10,000 per patient referral, and Costas and other brokers received approximately half that amount for each patient they brokered. During the scheme, Costas brokered dozens of patients on behalf of marketing companies around the country, and the conspiracy caused millions of dollars of losses for health insurers.
Costas faces a maximum potential penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 29, 2020.

In connection with loan applications for relief available from the Paycheck Protection Program ( “ PPP ” ) and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan ( “ EIDL ” ) Program , MA falsely represented to the SBA and five financial institutions that his companies , New York International @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Hurley Human Resources LLC ( “ Hurley ” ) , had hundreds of employees and paid millions of dollars in wages to those employees , when , in fact , MA appears to have been the only employee of his companies .
MA ’ s company NYIC also fraudulently represented that it was representing New York State in procuring COVID-19 test kits and personal protective equipment to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic .
MA was arrested this morning and will be presented later today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Kevin Nathaniel Fox .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ Muge Ma , a/k/a ‘ Hummer Mars , ’ allegedly attempted to secure over $ 20 million in Government-guaranteed loans intended for businesses devastated by the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic .
In furtherance of the scheme , Ma allegedly falsely represented in his applications to banks and the SBA to own two companies with hundreds of employees to whom he paid millions in wages .
As alleged , Ma described one of the companies as a ‘ patriotic American ’ firm , and said of the other company that it would ‘ help @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caused by the pandemic by helping unemployed American workers and unemployed American fresh graduates find jobs as quickly as possible.
’ In truth , Ma appears to be the only employee of either company and had no legitimate claim to the funds for which he applied .
Ma ’ s alleged attempts to secure funds earmarked for legitimate small businesses in dire financial straits are as audacious as they are callous , and now he now faces federal prosecution .
Small businesses are facing uncertainty and unprecedented challenges , the least of which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ federal funds meant to assist them .
This Office , along with our law enforcement partners , will continue to vigilantly protect the integrity of those critical loan programs.
” FBI Assistant Director William F. Sweeney Jr said : “ There are many people in desperate need of federal money right now to get them through an unbelievably difficult time .

We hope this serves as a demonstration to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we are acting and investigating in real time to stop anyone using this crisis as a means to rip off the federal government and the tax payers who fund that government.

SBA OIG and its law enforcement partners are poised to root out fraud in SBA ’ s programs and bring wrongdoers to justice .
I want to thank the U.S. Attorney @ @ @ @ @ @ @ partners for their dedication and pursuit of justice.
” IRS-CI Special Agent in Charge Jonathan D. Larsen said : “ As many American businesses are struggling to survive during these difficult times , it is alleged that Mr. Ma sought to steal millions of dollars in loans intended to assist legitimate businesses .

Pursuant to the CARES Act , the amount of PPP funds a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the number of employees employed by the business and their average payroll costs .
Businesses applying for a PPP loan must provide documentation to confirm that they have previously paid employees the compensation represented in the loan application .
The CARES Act also expanded the separate EIDL Program , which provides small businesses with low-interest loans of up to $ 2 million that can provide vital economic support to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing due to COVID-19 .
To qualify for an EIDL loan under the CARES @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ substantial economic injury ” from COVID-19 .
From at least in or about March 2020 through at least on or about May 15 , 2020 , MA applied to the SBA and at least five banks for a total of over $ 20 million in Government-guaranteed loans for the his companies NYIC and Hurley ( together , the “ Ma Companies ” ) through the SBA ’ s PPP and EIDL Program .
In connection with these loan applications , MA represented , among other things , that he was the sole @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Companies , that the Ma Companies were located on the sixth floor of his luxury condominium building in New York , New York , and that NYIC and Hurley together had hundreds of employees and paid millions of dollars in wages to those employees on a monthly basis .
In fact , however , MA appears to have been the only employee of NYIC since at least in or about 2019 , and Hurley does not appear to have any employees .
In order to support the false representations made by MA in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ employees at , and the wages paid by , the Ma Companies , MA submitted fraudulent and doctored bank records , tax records , insurance records , payroll records , and/or audited financial statements to five different banks , and also provided links to the Ma Companies ’ websites , which describe them as purportedly “ global ” companies .
In the course of these loan applications , MA also misrepresented that he was a United States citizen , when , in fact , he is a Chinese national with lawful permanent resident @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the discovery of the fraudulent conduct by MA , the SBA approved a $ 500,000 EIDL Program loan for NYIC and a $ 150,000 EIDL Program loan for Hurley , and at least a $ 10,000 loan advance was provided to NYIC .
In addition , a bank approved and disbursed over approximately $ 800,000 in PPP loan funds for Hurley , which were frozen in connection with this investigation .
As a result , MA sought to withdraw his loan applications from the banks and return the funds .
MA and individuals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fraudulently represented to a COVID-19 test kit manufacturer and a medical equipment supplier that NYIC is representing the New York State Government and the Governor of New York in procuring COVID-19 test kits and personal protective equipment ( “ PPE ” ) to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic .
Among other incidents , in a recorded call that took place on or about May 18 , 2020 , MA represented , in substance and in part , that his company NYIC was a registered vendor for New York State , among other state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big team working on a deal for the State .
NYIC is not , however , an authorized vendor of New York State , nor has NYIC been authorized to represent New York State in connection with the procurement of COVID-19 supplies .

The CARES Act also expanded the separate EIDL Program, which provides small businesses with low-interest loans of up to $2 million that can provide vital economic support to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing due to COVID-19. To qualify for an EIDL loan under the CARES Act, the applicant must have suffered “substantial economic injury” from COVID-19.
From at least in or about March 2020 through at least on or about May 15, 2020, MA applied to the SBA and at least five banks for a total of over $20 million in Government-guaranteed loans for the his companies NYIC and Hurley (together, the “Ma Companies”) through the SBA’s PPP and EIDL Program. In connection with these loan applications, MA represented, among other things, that he was the sole owner and executive director of the Ma Companies, that the Ma Companies were located on the sixth floor of his luxury condominium building in New York, New York, and that NYIC and Hurley together had hundreds of employees and paid millions of dollars in wages to those employees on a monthly basis. In fact, however, MA appears to have been the only employee of NYIC since at least in or about 2019, and Hurley does not appear to have any employees. In order to support the false representations made by MA in the loan applications about the number of employees at, and the wages paid by, the Ma Companies, MA submitted fraudulent and doctored bank records, tax records, insurance records, payroll records, and/or audited financial statements to five different banks, and also provided links to the Ma Companies’ websites, which describe them as purportedly “global” companies. In the course of these loan applications, MA also misrepresented that he was a United States citizen, when, in fact, he is a Chinese national with lawful permanent resident status in the United States.
Before the discovery of the fraudulent conduct by MA, the SBA approved a $500,000 EIDL Program loan for NYIC and a $150,000 EIDL Program loan for Hurley, and at least a $10,000 loan advance was provided to NYIC. In addition, a bank approved and disbursed over approximately $800,000 in PPP loan funds for Hurley, which were frozen in connection with this investigation. As a result, MA sought to withdraw his loan applications from the banks and return the funds.
MA and individuals purporting to work for NYIC have also fraudulently represented to a COVID-19 test kit manufacturer and a medical equipment supplier that NYIC is representing the New York State Government and the Governor of New York in procuring COVID-19 test kits and personal protective equipment (“PPE”) to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other incidents, in a recorded call that took place on or about May 18, 2020, MA represented, in substance and in part, that his company NYIC was a registered vendor for New York State, among other state governments, and that NYIC had a big team working on a deal for the State. NYIC is not, however, an authorized vendor of New York State, nor has NYIC been authorized to represent New York State in connection with the procurement of COVID-19 supplies.

MA, 36 of New York, New York, is charged with one count of bank fraud, one count of wire fraud, and one count of making false statements to a bank, each of which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, one count of major fraud against the United States, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, one count of making false statements, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, and one count of making false statements to the SBA, which carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison. The maximum potential sentences are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the judge.

HOMESTEAD, Florida — A 37-year-old Tavernier man turned away at the U.S. 1 checkpoint at Mile Marker 112.5 was arrested Thursday after kidnapping a 17-year-old girl in Homestead and forcing her to drive him through the checkpoint.
Alexander Michael Sardinas was charged with kidnapping/false imprisonment.
There were no reported injuries.
The case began Thursday morning when Sardinas and a 43-year-old Islamorada woman attempted to enter the Florida Keys in a rideshare taxi without proper identification or paperwork. They were turned around. Shortly thereafter, a Florida Highway Patrol Trooper responded to a domestic argument occurring on the side of U.S. 1 at Mile Marker 113. The Trooper gave Sardinas and the woman a courtesy ride to Florida City.
The pair then went to the Publix at 12 p.m. on Campbell Road in Homestead where they approached the victim in the parking lot. The victim has Monroe County plates and a Hurricane reentry sticker on her car. The victim told Detectives the male suspect, later identified as Sardinas, told her she was going to drive him and the female with him to Tavernier. Sardinas threatened to hurt the victim if she refused. Sardinas threated to hurt the victim if she touched her cell phone.
The victim drove south to the checkpoint at Mile Marker 112.5 where she provided her driver’s license with a Florida Keys address. The victim told Detectives she did not say anything to Deputies at the checkpoint about the man in the car threatening to harm her, because she was scared. The victim continued south to a gas station at Mile Marker 92, whereupon Sardinas exited the car. The female told the victim to drive her to a pharmacy in Tavernier. The victim dropped off the woman at the pharmacy. The victim then called a family member who notified law enforcement.
Detectives Cody Kerns and E.B. Askins of the Major Crimes Unit were assigned to investigate.

The female formerly with Sardinas was found shortly thereafter on Navajo Street in Islamorada.
Detectives Kerns and Askins conducted interviews where both Sardinas and the female gave conflicting stories on how and where they met the victim. Furthermore, neither Sardinas nor the female denied being in the vehicle with the victim.
