The CEO of a Fresno-based home health care company was arrested at San Francisco International Airport as he attempted to board a flight to Nigeria, U.S. Attorney Eric Grant announced Wednesday, Dec. 3.
Four Corners Health LLC CEO Kashmir Chinedu Luke is accused of defrauding the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) out of more than $7 million, according to court documents. According to court documents, Luke, an Antioch resident, filed approximately 10,000 false claims for care provided on the company's behalf between December 2019 and July 2024, and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) reimbursed Four Corners $7 million for duplicate claims.
Prosecutors allege the duplicate charges were for services in the caretaker's absence and for hours beyond those provided by staff. The claim also includes services allegedly provided weeks after the veteran died.
Four Corners Health LLC provided skilled home nursing and daily care to elderly veteran beneficiaries in Fresno, Tulare, Madera, Merced, Mariposa, San Francisco, and Contra Costa counties.
Investigators allege Luke was the company's sole owner and billing representative and misled a third-party benefits administrator at the Veterans Administration who sought to collect improper payments. Prosecutors believe he made the purchases for personal expenses, moved the funds through bank accounts in Asia and Africa, and immediately spent or transferred the funds.
The incident was investigated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General. Assistant U.S. Attorney Calvin Lee is prosecuting the case.
If convicted, Luke could face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
