The FBI has captured one of its Most Wanted Fraudsters, who allegedly defrauded the government of more than $1.2 billion in Medicare funds. 

Herbert Leon Kimble, 60, is accused of running a fraudulent healthcare enterprise that resulted in “more than $1.2 billion in Medicare charges and affected thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, many of whom were elderly victims,” according to the FBI.

Previously, the FBI offered a $ 150,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

Authorities say he was arrested in the Philippines after nearly two years on the run, according to the New York Post.

Vice Chairman of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, Andrew Ferguson, highlighted the importance of the anti-fraud task force. “The Biden Administration could have gotten him. They found plenty of time to arrest people playing outside of abortion clinics,” he said.

“Instead, they let this guy run away with all of this money outside of the country.”

WATCH:

FBI Director Kash Patel announced Kimble’s arrest on Friday, writing:

In just over two weeks, this is the second Most Wanted Fraudster arrested on the FBI’s list led by Vice President Vance and the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud.

Herbert Leon Kimbel was apprehended in the Philippines and is now back in the United States, on the run since 2024 after he allegedly orchestrated a $1.2 billion healthcare fraud conspiracy that targeted the Medicare system – particularly elderly victims – from 2014-2019.

Thank you to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and our Justice Department partners for their assistance in the returning Kimble to the U.S. to face justice.

President Trump set a mandate to end the abuse of hardworking taxpayer money and each and every day this team will be committed to delivering.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, FBI Director Kash Patel announced earlier this month that the FBI is launching a “Most Wanted Fraudsters” list as the Department of Justice investigates criminal fraud rings across the country.

The list, which is now live on the FBI’s webpage, features eight wanted criminals accused of stealing nearly $1.3 billion combined.

So far, two of the FBI’s “Most Wanted Fraudsters” have been caught. The second fraudster, Said Abdullahi Ereg, accused of stealing $4.2 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program during the COVID-19 pandemic, previously surrendered to authorities.
