Pennsylvania Brothers Who Posed With FBI Chief Face 835 Years in Prison for $30M Fraud Empire

In one of the most audacious fraud cases in recent US history, two Indian American brothers from Pennsylvania — Bhaskar Savani, 60, and Arun Savani, 58,  have been convicted by a federal jury of running a sprawling criminal enterprise that defrauded the US government of over $30 million across multiple states.​
The Savani Group, as their network was known, ran at least five simultaneous fraud operations: H-1B visa fraud that exploited Indian workers by forcing them to return portions of their salaries; Medicaid fraud exceeding $32 million through nominee-owned dental clinics; money laundering through a web of shell company bank accounts; tax and wire fraud involving $1.6 million in unreported personal income; and the illegal implantation of prototype dental devices labelled "Not For Human Use" in patients without their knowledge or consent.​
The case attracted extraordinary attention after it emerged that both brothers had publicly celebrated their friendship with FBI Director Kash Patel on social media — even as the federal investigation against them was actively underway.​
A third defendant, Aleksandra Radomiak, 48, was also convicted for her role in the healthcare fraud scheme. Bhaskar and Arun Savani now face a combined potential sentence of 835 years in prison.
