Fraud in Healthcare, Crypto Led Texas White-Collar Dockets in 2024

The biggest white-collar cases in Texas in 2024 included nine-figure healthcare fraud prosecutions, alleged crypto investment scams and the ongoing battle royal involving the Boeing Co., the Justice Department and survivors of the victims of two crashes of Boeing’s 737 Max jetliner.

Federal prosecutions suggested yet again last year that if there’s a way to steal from Medicare, other government healthcare programs and private insurers, someone will find it. Some of the biggest cases of 2024 involved allegations of useless genetic testing, prescriptions for phantom patients, overpriced cardiac scans and nonexistent treatment of injured college athletes. (The cases are at various stages of litigation; some remain pending.)
