Fraud in America

Real stories from real whistleblowers who risk their careers to shine a light on corporate fraud in America.

AI and SEC Enforcement Priorities

In the third installment of our AI series, we turn to one of the most consequential—and fast-moving—frontiers in enforcement: how the SEC is regulating artificial intelligence. We sit down with Daren Firestone to break down the schemes increasingly drawing regulatory scrutiny, including “AI washing,” recent SEC settlements involved investment advisers that made false and misleading claims about their use of artificial intelligence, and the growing use of AI tools in cyber-enabled misconduct like hacking and ransomware. We explore how these developments are reshaping the SEC’s enforcement priorities, what companies need to know as AI becomes more deeply integrated into financial services, and what all of this means for potential whistleblowers navigating an evolving landscape.Daren Firestone is a Partner at Levy Firestone Muse.Learn more about Daren: https://www.levyfirestone.com/team/daren-firestone/Fraud in America is made possible by the generous donation of Getnick Law, a boutique Manhattan law firm dedicated to fighting fraud and promoting business integrity.------------------Fraud in America Social Links🌐 Website🐦 Twitter🎥 YouTube👔 LinkedIn------------------To learn more about Fraud in America, visit taf.org/podcast.Thoughts?

Breaking Down Medicare Advantage Fraud with Eva Gunasekera

Medicare Advantage has grown to insure over half of all Medicare beneficiaries, but with that explosive growth has come an explosion in fraud. Billions of dollars in taxpayer money are being siphoned off through schemes that exploit the program's risk-adjustment payment system—from upcoding patient diagnoses to fabricating medical conditions entirely. In today's episode, we sit down with Eva Gunasekera from Tycko Zavareei to break down how Medicare Advantage actually works, how it differs from traditional fee-for-service Medicare, and why the government chose to effectively privatize the nation's largest insurance program. We explore the various fraud schemes plaguing the system, who the typical defendants are, and the unique challenges prosecutors and whistleblowers face when calculating damages in these cases. Eva Gunasekera is a whistleblower attorney at Tycko Zavareei specializing in healthcare fraud cases.
