COURTHOUSE,
Jan 25 – Ted Albin was
arrested in Florida on charges
of health care fraud and
conspiracy to violate the
Anti-Kickback Statute.
As sketched in a
four-count Indictment unsealed
in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York, Albin and his twin
sister Erin Foley ran a
Medicare billing company that
they used to bill Medicare for
more than $25 million in
fraudulent claims for durable
medical equipment and on which
Medicare and related private
insurers paid out more than $9
million.
On December
28, Albin appeared by
Facetime, from Florida, before
SDNY Magistrate Judge Barbara
Moses. Inner City Press was in
the courtroom, the only media
there, and live tweeted. Part
of thread here:
Albin wants a
publicly paid lawyer - and
gets one, while owning two
properties, one of which he
rents out
Albin will remain
free on bail - but is told not
to speak about the case with
his (twin) sister Erin Foley,
the lead / named defendant,
married to Palm Beach County
Sheriff's Office Captain Randy
Foley...
On January 17,
Erin Foley pled not guilty; a
next conference for both was
set for April 18 at 4:30 pm.
And properties were named and
encumbered: "Erin Foley, the
defendant, may not sell,
pledge, mortgage, hypothecate,
encumber, etc., the property
at 6443 Hall Blvd.,
Loxahatchee, FL 33470, until
the personal recognizance bond
in this case is discharged, or
otherwise modified by the
Court; and it is fu1iher
hereby ORDERED that Ted Albin,
the defendant, may not sell,
pledge, mortgage, hypothecate,
encumber, etc., the property
at 1750 SW Hackman Terrace,
Stuart, FL 34997, until the
personal recognizance bond in
this case is discharged, or
otherwise modified by the
Court. SO ORDERED. (Signed by
Judge John G. Koeltl on
1/17/2024)."
On January 25,
Erin Foley's lawyer wrote in
seeking permission to speak,
as she can with her brother,
with Molly Hilermand (sister)
and Audra Kashack (close
friend).
