FBI's Most Wanted Fraudster CAUGHT After Stealing $547 Million From Medicare With Fake Passport

For more than three years, Khalid Satary was one of the men the FBI wanted most. On July 20, 2026, police in the Middle East stopped him traveling under a false name with a fake Mexican passport. Prosecutors say his labs billed Medicare more than $547 million for cancer genetic tests that seniors did not need. The Justice Department calls it one of the largest health care fraud schemes it has ever charged.
