A Texas doctor who exploited his medical credentials to orchestrate a multimillion-dollar scam—built on lies and fake diagnoses—has been sentenced to a decade behind bars.
Jorge Zamora-Quezada, 68, was found guilty of falsely diagnosing patients with rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic and irreversible disease, in order to collect massive sums from both government and private insurance companies. The fraudulent operation netted him $118 million and financed a life of extreme luxury.
Along with the 10-year prison sentence, the federal court ordered Zamora-Quezada to surrender more than $28 million in assets. This included a lavish collection of possessions: 13 properties, a private jet, and a Maserati GranTurismo.
