Illegal migrant stole $90 million from the government through insane racket
Anar Rustamov, an Azerbaijan national who entered the United States illegally, is now a fugitive after allegedly defrauding the federal government of millions through a complex Medicare scam.
Authorities say Rustamov created a fake durable medical equipment (DME) business called Dublin Helping Hands, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, to submit fraudulent claims for roughly $90 million in medical supplies that patients neither needed nor received.
According to the indictment, the company billed Medicare using patient names without their knowledge, and the listed medical providers had not authorized the claims. Items on the invoices included back braces, glucose monitors, and other equipment.
The fraudulent activity spanned from October 2024 and intensified in April 2025, when the company submitted more than $49 million in claims in a single month. “The billing volume and timing was designed to maximize the amount of money paid out before the fraud was detected,” prosecutors stated.
Rustamov is currently being sought by authorities. Special Agent Robb R. Breeden emphasized that federal investigators will “pursue those who attempt to exploit federal health care programs — no matter where they attempt to hide.”
If found guilty, Rustamov faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count. United States Attorney Craig H. Missakian said, “When the Administration declared a War on Fraud, it aimed to stop exactly this kind of activity. Rustamov took part in a scheme to steal nearly $100 million in taxpayer funds from a program intended to help people who genuinely need medical care.”
