Summary
A federal jury in Fort Worth found Kevin D. Curry, 64, guilty on nine counts tied to a $26 million scheme that targeted TRICARE, the military health program.
Prosecutors said Curry billed for transcranial magnetic stimulation that was medically unnecessary or never provided, used doctors' credentials without consent, and had employees fabricate records to support claims.
More than $5.5 million in kickbacks allegedly helped recruit active-duty servicemembers, veterans and family members into the scheme, while TRICARE ultimately paid about $17 million on the false or tainted claims.
Authorities said Curry spent proceeds on luxury hotel stays, a casino-themed party and a gold-plated Tesla Cybertruck worth more than $100,000.
Curry, who operated clinics in Texas and Florida, faces up to 10 years in prison on each count when he is sentenced later.
