Litigation Funder Arrested in Slip-and-Fall Fraud Scheme
A fifth member of a slip-and-fall fraud ring was arrested and charged in a Manhattan Federal Court. The scheme, which amounts to more than $30 million, appears to have begun in 2013. Adrian Alexander, age 75, has been charged with mail fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud for his alleged attempts to gain fraudulent insurance reimbursements. The case will be heard by US District Judge Sidney H Stein.
