Medicaid Fraud Scheme Exposed | Indianapolis News

A shocking $10.9 million Medicaid fraud scheme has unraveled in Indiana, targeting a home health agency run by Alexander Byrnes — who’s now behind bars — and his alleged frontwoman, Faith Casas. Byrnes, barred from owning such a business after a prior felony conviction, allegedly used Casas to mask his ownership while siphoning Medicaid funds by falsifying caregiver hours. Evidence shows he personally pocketed nearly $1 million monthly, splurging on luxury travel and nightclubs, while another employee, Cortez Crook, allegedly stole $70,000. Crook and LaShawn Wright remain at large, as authorities close in on this brazen operation that exposed a web of deception, greed, and systemic loopholes.
