A Texas mental health clinic owner was convicted by a federal jury after prosecutors said he orchestrated a $26 million scheme to defraud the military’s health care program, using some of the proceeds to fund luxury purchases, including a gold-plated Tesla Cybertruck worth more than $100,000. Federal prosecutors said the man exploited TRICARE, the health care program serving active-duty servicemembers, retirees and their families, by billing for transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, therapy that was medically unnecessary or, in many cases, never provided. The Justice Department said the man falsely represented himself as a medical doctor, used licensed doctors’ credentials without their knowledge or consent to submit claims to TRICARE, and directed employees to fabricate medical records to justify fraudulent billings. https://www.wfmd.com/2026/09/27/texas-clinic-owner-convicted-in-26m-military-health-fraud-tied-to-gold-plated-cybertruck/
