Tommy Farese just get pinched for healthcare fraud?

Had to delete file, it had m name in it. lol.

Question. Anyone recognize the nickname Danny Onions? Could be Carver's father, and could be way to figure out Carver family's Italian name before the legal name change. I never heard of him.

Question. Anyone recognize the nickname Danny Onions? Could be Carver's father, and could be way to figure out Carver family's Italian name before the legal name change. I never heard of him.

So can Carver/Mamone be directly connected to either the "Truglia Faction", the "Regency Faction", or the "REMN Faction"?

Furthermore, can the "Sunshine Group" (Sunrise Medical, Inc., RAS Marketing Services, Inc., STK Marketing, Inc., and Sunrise Medical Marketing) operated by Steven Kahn, Richard Marotte, and others be connected to either Farese (via Truglia) or Carver/Mamone?

If Steven Kahn is connected to those groups does that mean Alexandra Stchastlivtseva who was indicted in New Jersey and seems to be part of a fairly large conspiracy also connected to either the New Jersey or Florida companies operated by Farese/Truglia and their co-conspirators?

Regency Inc.? The medical billing company? I don’t know what the Regency faction is unless what I describe. Regency Inc is definitely involved in multiple frauds per court documents, some of which I’ve posted here previously.

I doubt Carver / Mamone are in any direct way connected to Farese. I’d think Farese would be aware of who Carver is based on who I heard about Carver from. Mix is way too smart to get close to Mamone. I do think (know) they used the same group of cut outs for telemarketing, etc. I’m not sure Mix would operate at the level where he was aware though. You’ll see this as the cases unfold. Probably 5-7 cases where there is some connection to Colombo or Gambino that I’m aware of. Some connection doesn’t pass the smell test for some on here. I know what I know, and I recognize the names. Associates aren’t operating in a vacuum. That doesn’t happen. Well, maybe to some extent in Florida, but not when it gets to NYC. And not for these large amounts of money.

Some of what you’re asking I can’t or won’t answer, and I’d need some background and context into what you’re trying to connect here. I don’t t recognize the Russian name. Do you have a picture? Or how they might be connected? This would be helpful, otherwise my answers stand as posted.

Truglia never had a “faction” as I described earlier, although I posted the Feds called it the Truglia faction. Truglia was with Mix. Was or is Truglia made? I “speculate” yes. Others don’t have this documented in some federal document so they don’t think so. Again, I know what I know, take it or leave it.

You’re questioning me like a cop. It makes me uncomfortable to be frank. Lol.

I just want direct answers if you can give them. Some speculation is warranted given how vague some of the indictments are, like I how I speculated earlier that Michael Vax's case could be connected to the New Jersey case through Aaron Williamsky and Nadia Levit's companies who did business with Farese and Truglia's network of companies. It doesn't help that the investigations are clearly on-going and more indictments are to drop.

In regards to Alexandra Stchastlivtseva, she operated American Kinetics Lab in Brooklyn, NY. She owned a network of DME companies in and around New York. Now she is connected to New Jersey companies via doing business with Nelly Petrosyan (owner of US Orthopedics and Alnery Solutions), Reinaldo Wilson (Advantage Choice Care and AIM Marketing), Lyn Weaver (Wellness for Life based in Oregon), and Steve Kahn (Sunrise Medical, STK Marketing, all Pompeo Beach, FL based). Given how many of these fake DMEs companies were working together across NJ, NY, and Florida in the Farese network - just wondered if there could be a possible connection? National and international networks of fake DME companies used by dozens of different co-conspirators is not unprecedent (https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/federal- ... ud-schemes).

Farese clearly did not initiate this scheme, he just plugged into an existing network that spanned from San Diego to New York to Florida. I'm sure no one individual knew who everyone else in the scheme were. Farese likely didn't get bogged down in the day-to-day details so who knows if he knew that possibly some company Truglia did business was also ordering braces for a Mamone company or something like that. Just weird that Truglia did business with two other large networks of fraudsters but not with the Carver/Mamone one? The Feds do sometimes slice up these conspiracies to the point where it could be difficult to connect them, even if they were connected from my experience.

[Johnny1and1]

Let me break this down as simply as I can.

I'll answer as directly as I feel like and I can, not as directly as you're asking.

"on-going and more indictments are to drop."

YUP

"Stchastlivtseva"

I don't remember hearing this name. As in, "I'm sorry your Honor, I have no recollection" Consequently I don't know that there is a connection, or not a connection. Do you have a photo?

"Kahn" I've heard of him, and I know a bit about him. I don't have any first hand knowledge that he helped Farese or Carver (or whatever his Italian name was before his family legally changed it).

https://redirect.viglink.com/?format=go ... ud-schemes

I recognize some names in the content of the link. My recognizing names might mean there is a connection, or it might just mean I recognize some names. I can't give you an answer. I can tell you Toms River to mafia connected to Florida isn't an unusual path. One of the names I recognize is more of a Philadelphia than NY connection. The other two names are definitely NY. None of that makes a difference in Florida as I've pointed out previously in this thread with some links. Or doesn't make as big of a difference as a lot of people think. e.g. Gambino associate working with a Colombo snitch. Or Sabatino in another thread that was largely ignored by most except the Colombo researcher on here. Colombo capo (supposedly according to the Feds) working with Gambino royalty. Royalty means Galgano was Carlo's God Son.

"Farese clearly did not initiate this scheme" What scheme? The broader Medicare fraud, or his scheme? If you're referring to the Farese / Truglia scheme, I'd say you're making a jump I'm not going to agree with you on.

None of this is the simple and easy answer you want. No matter how much you wish this was all neat and tidy, it isn't. And I don't know all the answers either.

Further, you ask a lot of questions. You stated Regency Faction. I asked if you were referring to Regency Inc, a medical billing company. You ask a lot of questions, but don't seem to want to answer a simple question to allow me to even begin to answer. All of which shapes the way I reply to you.

"Regency Faction" - Regency Inc. ran by Kelly Wolfe. I know she is cooperating as well. Magic Medical Inc. was also part of those schemes. Clearly that group of companies was involved with Truglia (they were even sued civilly together). I get that they are connected to the Farese/Truglia network of DME companies.

While Farese may have initiated his entry into the scheme with Truglia, I think it's clear that they started buying DME companies well after their co-defendants and thus were more or less plugging themselves into an already existing criminal enterprise (as opposed to starting one from scratch or something) that was spanning the country. I only linked the 2019 indictments to show that a nation-wide DME/healthcare fraud scheme is possible and there is a precedent for this, not that anyone from 2019 is connected to the current Farese/Carver networks. If there are, cool I guess there is continuity (which I think is always interesting).

I don't have any phots of Stchastlivtseva and it's a shame you don't know if Steve Kahn was part of the Farese/Carver networks. I thought Florida would be the easiest way to connect her to the others, but it is what it is. Anyways, the more I learn about this, the cooler this all looks. Excited to see the upcoming developments and hopefully the LCN connections crystalize to be more concrete.

The sheer dollar amount should shock some people. I got ripped into pretty good for making some statements about Florida, and I was counseled by an "expert" on here that there were really no true Florida based crews. Imagine me reading this when I associate with two homegrowns crews every day, every winter, down here, and used to lay off six digits a week in book with them? Some of these guys weren't even born in NY, although the NY connection and roots are certainly there. As is who they answer to. Permission being granted is a more formal and less obvious thing. Another thing a lot of people would be surprised about.

I've said it before. The dollars are greater than ever before, even adjusted for inflation. But the pyramid scheme is more pronounced. This doesn't mean it is what is used to be, but it's hardly as over some think.

The difference now is I believe most will eventually get caught, and I also believe a large percentage of the ones that get caught will snitch. Now whether they get them for what they did, or get them for what they can get them for, and whether they do this fairly or legally is a another topic. But the snitch part is the great big equalizer. That isn't changing with the way sentencing is done.

"did knowingly and willfully, that is, with the intent to further the objects of the conspiracy,
combine, conspire, confederate, and agree with each other and with others known and unknown to
the Grand Jury, including with John Mamone and Joseph Mamone, to commit offenses against the
United States:"


The interesting thing to me is how a couple never shied away from Big John, a known snitch. Indeed they used him as an associate. What I mean by associate is a guy to take the fall. A cut out. Several persons removed, but used all the same.

Yeah, why they went with Mamone is crazy in the context of his turning against Raffa and co.

To be clear, none of the Colombo went to Mamone to my knowledge. Carver, who is a Gambino associate (my statement, not verified) did. No one on here has connected the Colombos to any third party vendor Mamone used. @nizasoccer is getting closer to possibly doing this though. I'm going to limit my clarification to this for now.

[Johnny1and1]

Update and summary speaking specifically to Farese, Gatto, Truglia, DeFonte & Cirri.

All parties are (mostly) disposed of except Farese and Gatto.

Truglia is still at Texarkana. Although he rec'd a downward departure, there is no ongoing concern here.

Defonte is a mystery, and I've had some previous posts on this. He entered into the plea agreement in late 2021, and has had forfeiture executed or at least ordered, but he doesn't appear to be in custody. No one that I've spoken to really knows. I've posted previously on his level of cooperation as per the plea agreement. It's possible he hasn't been sentenced, and might not be until all parties are disposed of. That's common, and that situation probably means fairly extensive cooperation.

Cirri's situation is similar to Defonte's situation, except he has consented to be sentenced via video conference.

Cirri and Defonte are probably areas that @nizarsoccer might or might not wish to explore given their geographic location, and long relationship with Gatto. There are some dots to connect in the public domain, but I can't and won't give them here. In any event, whether I do or don't doesn't change the focus of this post. I'd suggest you look towards New Jersey, and the potential relationship with the Russian / Armenians you were exploring. Not sure what you will find is conclusive to your satisfaction, but a series of coincidence would be interesting and might further your endeavor. That kind of research isn't my thing.

My verification of this is I did a search on inmate locator for one of the defendants, and a search on PACER for one of the defendants. The information I was told checked out, so I just trusted the rest. It meets the level I need to be satisfied based on who I heard it from, and any minor inaccuracies are just minutia, the big picture is spot on. I'm not drawing the conclusion that one of them flipped, but I've been told that's the reality, and based on everything so far, that's what it looks like, and that's what I believe. All this said, and anecdotally based on what I know about Farese, I'm not sure the Fed's get a direct connection. I'm not sure it's necessary for a conviction, but as mentioned previously, I've been told Mix is pretty encouraged. Whether that means he gets several counts dropped, or walks I don't know. I suspect the former.

[Johnny1and1]

I don't have any phots of Stchastlivtseva and it's a shame you don't know if Steve Kahn was part of the Farese/Carver networks. I thought Florida would be the easiest way to connect her to the others, but it is what it is. Anyways, the more I learn about this, the cooler this all looks. Excited to see the upcoming developments and hopefully the LCN connections crystalize to be more concrete.

The dates here are also important as is Regency Inc, which has already been connected to multiple common persons, schemes and indictments. I believe these dates match up with what you are exploring. It goes further back, but this is an example from the first indictment:

"In this manner, from in or around March 2018 through in or around April 2019, defendants CIRRI and DEFONTE received kickbacks of
approximately $7,850,545 for DME Orders provided to the CC-1/CC-2 DME Companies. The CIRRI/DEFONTE DME Order Supply Companies, in turn, paid
kickbacks of approximately $157,000 to defendant GATTO and CC-4. As a result of the kickback scheme, Medicare, TRICARE, and CHAMPVA paid the CC-1/CC2 DME Companies approximately $17,000,000 in reimbursements for the DME"

It's complicated, good luck.

To clarify, and I've answered you directly, your use of the word Farese / Carver networks isn't accurate in my opinion. Farese and Carver weren't connected to my knowledge. Farese would know who Carver was I suspect, but outside of that, I've not made a statement on here connecting the two. What I pointed out is Carver, whose family changed their last name, has definite Gambino connections, and also worked with Mamone. Mix would never knowingly work with Mamone in my opinion.

If you want further Mamone information, that are multiple indictment in the Tampa area. I've not concentrated on those, only bringing up Mamone due to his Colombo connection. The odd things is Carver isn't in the Tampa area, but I'm not sure that means anything.

I think you could be correct that some of the DME's might connect some stuff. But that could simply be a case of multiple operations and person using the same corrupt DMEs. Regency Inc on the other hand is interesting, and I believe (know?) we'll eventually find out more. Whether that is in the name of Regency Inc, or common owner/operators remains to be seen, but Regency has already been connected.

[Johnny1and1]

Before someone jumps on this. "only bringing up Mamone due to his Colombo connection", I know he was Trafficante, but at that time in Broward County, there was cooperation between Trafficante & Colombo. Very likely Gambino also. Now it is mostly formal permission. Although I heard this winter that there was an active Trafficante crew in Miami Dade. That came from an older gentleman, so he could be confused, and I don't know if that's accurate. I do know one Trafficante has a few slots in Broward, and presumably more in the Tampa area that he gets paid for. I've seen him, I don't know who he is outside of some speculation I did previously in this thread and elsewhere. I also now there are a metric shit ton of Gambino in Broward. And I've read the speculation that Gambino have taken over Trafficante. I'm not sure what to think about that. I know Trafficante still has some slots and a formal permission is asked for by other famiglia.

Pretty speculative to many on here probably, but I know what I know. What I can or will prove is a different thing. That's probably the nature of what guys like me hear and know, and what is documented.

[nizarsoccer]

Thomas Farese/Pat Truglia's operation and Daniel Carver's DME operation were definitely plugged into the same wider criminal network/funnel used to generate leads to perpetrate their frauds. Luis M. Perez's indictment (22-cr-60157) lists "CRH Holdings" as a marketing entity that funneled leads for their companies and Carver's company "Broad Street Lifestyles LLC" is listed on the indictment as well. "CRH Holdings" was owned by Christopher Helfrich who was taken down the same day as Truglia, members of the Regency and REMN factions which all worked with Truglia. Helfrich's own indictment is vague as to which companies he worked with and given they are unnamed they could fit the description of several people and thus any conclusion using that avenue would speculative. While it's likely Helfrich worked directly with Truglia given all the other people arrested that day did, it is up for debate. However, it is certain that CRH Holdings provided leads to "Cure Health" based out of California. That company was once the primary leads generator for the Ever Prime group of DME companies who are connected to the Regency Faction and Truglia and they are all named together in the civil indictment of USA v. Regency (8:19-cv-00803). So far, it can be said that they were separate branches of a network connected through intermediaries. What it doesn't say so far is that Farese/Colombo's knew off or worked with the Carver/Mamone directly yet. Interesting nonetheless and let's see what more information comes out.

Farese plead to one amended (by new trial information) count.
