Shukla already ran. This one is Brooklyn and a bigger tab.
Justice Department, Sept. 11: Zakia Khan, 55, of Brooklyn, was sentenced to 76 months in prison for leading a Medicaid fraud and illegal-kickback scheme at two social adult daycare centers β Happy Family and Family Social β plus a home-health fiscal intermediary, Responsible Care Staffing, and a proceeds entity, Tanwee Services. Eastern District of New York. She pleaded guilty in August 2025 to conspiracy to commit health-care fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States and pay kickbacks.
Prosecutors: from about October 2017 through July 2024, marketers referred Medicaid recipients in exchange for kickbacks. Recipients were paid to sign up for services that were not provided as billed. The two centers fraudulently billed about $64 million. Medicaid paid about $56 million. The court ordered more than $56 million in restitution and $5 million forfeited β two properties, cash, and gold jewelry from a home search. HHS-OIG, HSI New York, and NYPD investigated.
This is a sentence after a plea. It is not Chaudhari. It is not Brass. It is not last nightβs Texas shelter pitch.
What this means for you
If you needed a verdict, this one already has months. If you needed Skid Row, that was Friday morning. If the week is too heavy, 988.
Bottom line: 76 months. $64 million billed. $56 million paid. The plea was last August.
