"Doctor Mary" Fake Clinic Scammed Cancer Patients for Years

Описание: They called it a medical clinic. They called her "Doctor Mary." Federal prosecutors say it was all a lie.
An Arizona couple just pleaded guilty to running a nationwide medical fraud scheme—charging desperate patients hundreds of dollars for fake "full body scans" that couldn't diagnose or treat anything.
The scam:

Claimed ultrasound machines had "smart chip technology" (never existed)
Told patients cancer cells would "light up like a Christmas tree"
Sold unapproved creams, supplements, and veterinary deworming drugs marketed as cancer treatments
Scans were fake. Diagnoses were fake. Treatments were dangerous.

How they avoided detection:

Never used medical terminology
Kept no records
Disguised clinics as private or religious organizations

The arsenal:
Federal investigators seized 30+ firearms and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition from one defendant—a convicted felon.
The stakes:
The couple faces decades in prison. When desperation meets deception, fraud doesn't just steal money—it risks lives.
This is what happens when vulnerable cancer patients trust con artists with their health.
