A Michigan doctor told many patients they had cancer when they didn't, then billed insurers for millions of dollars. He then bombarded them with unnecessary treatments, now will have to face his victims who lost their health, savings and trust at an emotional sentencing hearing.
Farid Fata, who lived in a sprawling mansion in ritzy Oakland Township and ran seven upscale clinics across eastern Michigan, declined to comment through his attorneys.
The hearing in federal court in Detroit, starts with a parade of victims set to testify against Fata, who turned a small one-doctor office into a lucrative medical empire in less than a decade.
A doctor who worked for Fata and gave information about him to the feds said justice for the victims will come not only in the form of a long prison sentence but through change to prevent a repeat of "this type of horrific torture and fraud." Just a thought.
