Blood Money With Chris Reidel, A fraud fighter and one who would set the record straight!  A leader in a world of corruption and unlock the truth as we say it will always set you free~~~


 


Join me in this episode to learn about his book and undertaking to reveal what many of us have known and suspected fpr years!


 


I never imagined I would become a fraud fighter. My closest friends, also


successful businessmen, despised anyone who sued corporations—particularly


whistleblowers. This held throughout corporate America. Was I about to become


something they despised?


After much research and reflection, it appeared to me that the only way to save


taxpayers from being ripped off — and, in the case of Hunter, to save the business itself


— was to stop the Blood Brothers’ frauds. The only way to potentially do that was


through a whistleblower, or Qui-tam, lawsuit.


But did I really want to file suit against several of the biggest laboratory


companies engaging in these practices?


The bigger question: Did I want to see taxpayers in California, and throughout


the nation, continue to be ripped off by these companies to the tune of billions of


dollars, as they defrauded State and Federal governments?


When I looked at it that way, I became a man on a mission. A mission that


continues today.


 


Blood Money is the story of how a Silicon Valley CEO became a fraud fighter. It is an


insider’s look at the David vs. Goliath struggle between a whistleblower seeking to


save his company and stop taxpayers from being ripped-off, and healthcare


companies engaged in massive fraud. Affecting millions of taxpayers, it is one of the


biggest “hidden” stories in the healthcare world — until now.


 


Imagine running a successful business in highest integrity — until squeezed out by a


pair of companies engaging in one of the greatest predatory pricing schemes in the


medical world. What do you do? Such was Chris Riedel’s dilemma, which led him to


become one of the top medical whistleblowers and fraud fighters in U.S. history,


which he chronicles in his riveting true-crime book, Blood Money.


Chris ran a highly regarded Northern California lab testing company, Hunter


Labs, until falling to the nefarious scheme of the “Blood Brothers,” Quest and


LabCorp, the world’s top medical test labs. Their scheme, which involved loss-leader


pricing to doctors to gain their business, and then overcharging Medicare, Medicaid


and Medi-Cal as much as 40-fold, has cost taxpayers billions of dollars during the


past 15 years — and forced higher quality, but smaller labs like Hunter, either to


fold or be absorbed by them.


In Blood Money, Riedel exposes the underworld of medical fraud in unsparing


terms. He begins with the Blood Brothers’ fraud against Hunter Labs and others,


which pushed Chris and his attorney partners, Niall McCarthy (son of former Calif.


Lieutenant Governor Leo McCarthy) and Justin Berger into action. Chris and his


attorneys blew the whistle, and won a landmark $300 million in settlements for the


Blood Money With Chris~!


 


In a day and age with the truth will set you free I know you will be over the top unleashed to hear what he uncovered like a movie!~~Chris State of California and taxpayers in a highly publicized 2011 case.


 


Since then, his efforts have expanded into becoming a full-fledged medical


fraud fighter against other lab testing companies defrauding taxpayers. Chris won or 


settled cases in Florida, Michigan, Virginia, Nevada, Georgia, California and, most


recently in November, a $28 million settlement against Boston Heart Diagnostics


(see attached article). He and his team have worked both with and independent of


the DOJ on 27 cases. They have another half dozen cases open.


Chris is a fraud fighter of highest esteem, a whistleblower not only going


after medical fraud, but making sure the taxpayer doesn’t get ripped off any more. In


all, he and his partners have won cases totaling $553 million, the vast majority of


which went back to state and federal government treasury coffers.


Likewise, his open, deeply honest and often blunt writing in Blood Money


makes him a voice to a wide reading audience – most of whom have undergone


medical lab tests – would love to hear from. In Blood Money, he takes us on a


compelling, sometimes high-drama adventure through the fight to survive vs. Quest


and LabCorp’s practices, and the dire retribution he faced from these multi-billion


dollar Goliaths — not to mention being weeks away from professional and personal


bankruptcy, and destroying the life he and Marcia had built. He chronicles the


landmark 2011 California case, the many he’s pursued since, and how fraud fighting


has changed his life. Furthermore, he describes the world of the whistleblower in


detail and offers universal tips to those considering taking such action, no matter


the industry.
