The FBI has added two international fugitives to its ‘Most Wanted Fraudsters’ list as part of a historic crackdown on healthcare fraud. The agency announced the additions of Khalid Ahmed Satary and Emylee Thai, who are wanted for their alleged involvement in healthcare fraud conspiracies.
Healthcare Fraud Takedown
The ‘2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown’ initiative has led to charges against 455 suspects for more than $6.5 billion in false claims. The FBI said Satary is believed to be hiding in the United Arab Emirates, while Thai may be hiding in Vietnam.
According to the FBI, Thai’s laboratory allegedly billed Medicare roughly $142 million for genetic testing, successfully pocketing about $95 million on those claims. The agency is urging anyone with tips regarding Satary or Thai to visit tips.fbi.gov or call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
The additions to the most wanted list come amid what Attorney General Todd Blanche described as ‘the greatest combined federal and state effort in combating health care fraud in history.’ The whole-of-government operation, executed over the last 14 days, spanned 45 states and territories.
