Fata was arrested in 2013 after federal agents raided his offices in the Detroit area and seized his medical records.

A federal complaint against Fata showed that he unnecessarily gave chemotherapy to patients in remission and deliberately misdiagnosed patients in order to defraud the federally-funded health care program Fata made approximately $35 million over the two-year period.

The complaint also mentions that Fata systematically defrauded Medicare by submitting false claims for services that were medically unnecessary for patients. Those claims included a variety of cancer and hematology treatments given to people who did not need them.
