Remember the original 5 whistleblower CVD labs investigated by the DOJ for kickbacks to doctors and collecting hundreds of millions from medicare for unnecessary tests? HDL and Singulex settled with the feds and then HDL quickly went bankrupt and Singulex isn’t too far behind. The former owners (Cal Dent and Brad Johnson) of Bluewave, the outside sales firm that worked for both HDL and Singulex, just had over $300 million in assests between them frozen by the feds. The third, Berkeley HeartLab no longer exists. And last week, the fourth, Atherotech laid off all of its lab techs and closed its doors. So, maybe crime doesn’t pay. The only one left standing is Boston Heart Diagnostics, which was sold by Bain Capital to Eurofins right when the federal investigation got hot. Say what you will about Bain, which cut its teeth on bilking Medicare for unnecessary tests with the Damon Labs fraud case 20 years ago, Bain knows when to dump a dirty lab. They sold Damon just before being fined, leaving the new owner (Corning) holding the tab. And it looks like Eurofins will ultimately pay the fine for Boston Heart’s corruption.
