Ex-NFL Player Convicted In $328M Fraud Scheme, Facing Prison Sentence

Keith Gray was found guilty of orchestrating a $328 million Medicare fraud scheme involving unnecessary genetic tests and kickbacks to marketers, with $54 million paid by Medicare.

  • A federal jury in Texas convicted Keith Gray, a former NFL player and laboratory owner, of orchestrating a $328 million Medicare fraud scheme involving medically unnecessary genetic testing, authorities said.
  • Prosecutors say Gray arranged the scheme by using sham contracts and invoices labeled as marketing, `software` fees, or loans, to conceal payments, and paid kickbacks for referrals, authorities said.
  • At trial, jurors were shown communications including text messages celebrating profits, and prosecutors said Gray laundered proceeds by buying a Dodge Ram worth more than $142,000 and a Mercedes‑Benz SUV worth more than $145,000.
  • He faces statutory prison exposure of 10 years on each count, and a federal judge will set the sentencing date for Keith Gray, convicted defendant of multiple counts.
  • The DOJ's Health Care Fraud Strike Force, which has charged over 6,200 defendants, is part of broader systemic enforcement efforts, prosecutors said, highlighting ongoing federal investigations.
