The Justice Department just indicted over 450 people in a sprawling $6.5 billion healthcare fraud scheme spanning 45 states. Among the most shocking names? Kerr Kriisa, a former college basketball star, accused of wire fraud by impersonating himself and even his own mother to bilk victims out of nearly $2.2 million. From 2022 to this year, he allegedly staged fake emergencies — including faking organ sales and cancer treatments — to swindle money. Once a standout guard who led the Pac-12 in assists, Kriisa now faces five counts of wire fraud after his arrest in Kentucky. His court date is looming, and prosecutors are warning that such scams destroy trust and devastate victims who believed they were helping.
