On Jan. 16, 2024, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the final two defendants in United States v. Pierre, Dkt. No. 1:22-cr-00019 (S.D.N.Y.), Arthur Bogoraz and William Weiner, D.O., pled guilty to charges stemming from their involvement in a massive insurance fraud scheme, where the government alleged that the defendants combined to use five medical professional corporations to submit over $70 million in fraudulent billing to no-fault automobile insurance carriers.

Pending sentencing, the guilty pleas conclude a two-year prosecution that exposed a highly coordinated scheme by individuals in the healthcare, legal and financial sectors to hijack New York’s no-fault insurance system for personal profit.
