Federal prosecutors say Sunshine Senior Solutions and ABRH Care billed insurers for equipment and wound supplies never provided.
DELRAY BEACH, FL — A Delray Beach office was used as a hub in an alleged $3.76 billion health care fraud scheme that billed Medicare, Medicaid and other insurers for medical supplies patients did not need or receive, federal prosecutors said.
The case centers on Ibrahim Khaldoon Hilmi, 58, of Miami, who was charged by indictment with health care fraud and wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy and money laundering. Prosecutors say Hilmi helped operate Sunshine Senior Solutions LLC and ABRH Care Inc., two durable medical equipment companies that federal officials described as entirely fraudulent. The charges were announced as part of a national health care fraud takedown involving 455 defendants and more than $6.5 billion in alleged false claims.
Hilmi was brought back to South Florida after being detained overseas, authorities said. Local reporting and federal statements said he had fled the United States in 2025 and was later held by authorities before his return. The FBI’s Miami office released photos showing Hilmi in custody after his transfer. Federal officials said the broader takedown showed close work among law enforcement agencies in the United States and abroad. “Health care fraud steals from taxpayers, exploits vulnerable patients, and puts lives at risk,” Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said while announcing the national enforcement action.
The indictment says the alleged conspiracy ran from about August 2024 through about November 2025 in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties and elsewhere. Prosecutors said Hilmi and others acquired or controlled durable medical equipment suppliers, used corporate filings and bank accounts to hide the roles of people overseas, and created storefronts that made the companies appear real to banks and insurers. The companies were supposed to provide medical equipment and wound dressings, but prosecutors said they never bought the supplies needed to serve the patients listed in the claims. The indictment says claims were submitted using stolen patient identities and stolen provider information, often without the patients or doctors knowing until insurance notices arrived.
Federal records say Sunshine Senior Solutions submitted at least $3.34 billion in false claims from about November 2024 through about September 2025. Prosecutors said at least $1.78 billion was processed as paid by insurers, though nearly all of that amount was held in suspension by Medicare Part B. Even with that suspension, Sunshine Senior Solutions kept billing Medicare supplemental insurers, which were required under contracts to pay portions of certain crossover claims, the indictment says. About $3.5 million in reimbursements was deposited into Sunshine Senior Solutions accounts, according to prosecutors.
ABRH Care, a second company named in the indictment, submitted at least $420 million in false claims from about February 2025 through about May 2025, prosecutors said. Those claims were sent to Medicare Advantage organizations, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, Medicaid and commercial insurers for durable medical equipment and wound dressings that were not medically needed and not provided, according to the indictment. Federal officials said at least $4.6 million was processed as paid on ABRH claims, and about $2.2 million was deposited into ABRH bank accounts. Together, prosecutors said, the two companies submitted at least $3.76 billion in false claims, while about $5.7 million reached company bank accounts.
The Delray Beach office played a narrow but important role, according to prosecutors. The indictment says corporate storefronts for Sunshine Senior Solutions and ABRH provided no customer services and had no legitimate business purpose. Instead, prosecutors said, the offices worked as places to receive checks and other mail from Medicare, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, Medicaid and private insurers. The storefronts also helped make the businesses look active to banks and insurers, federal officials said. Local reporting said Sunshine Senior Solutions was listed as a medical supply company and that its website was no longer active after questions about the business grew.
Investigators said money moved quickly after reimbursements reached the companies. The indictment says Hilmi, Irakli Nakashidze and others opened or acquired accounts at at least nine banks in the names of Sunshine Senior Solutions and ABRH. Prosecutors said millions of dollars in reimbursements, sometimes tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars in a single day, were deposited into company accounts. The indictment says much of the money was then wired to shell companies overseas, including accounts in Hong Kong, China and Indonesia. Prosecutors said the transfers were falsely described to banks as payments for medical equipment.
Hilmi is not the only defendant named in the alleged scheme. The indictment also refers to Nika Machutadze, Irakli Nakashidze and unnamed co-conspirators. Machutadze, a Russian national, was arrested earlier in Texas and charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering in connection with Sunshine Senior Solutions and a similar Texas business, according to local reporting. Federal prosecutors said Hilmi concealed management and ownership roles from Medicare by not filing a change-of-ownership form for Sunshine Senior Solutions after he became involved. The indictment says that left the prior owner listed in Medicare enrollment records even after prosecutors say Hilmi and others controlled the business.
The case landed inside a much larger federal operation announced Tuesday. The Justice Department said the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown involved cases in 56 federal districts and 45 states and territories, with 50 state Medicaid Fraud Control Units taking part. Officials said the operation included charges against 90 doctors and other licensed medical professionals, the suspension of 1,079 providers by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the revocation of billing privileges for 1,403 providers. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche called the operation “the greatest whole-of-government effort to combat health care fraud in our Nation’s history.”
Some of the first public signs of trouble at Sunshine Senior Solutions came from patients around the country who said their Medicare information had been used without permission. Local reporters said dozens of seniors contacted them over more than a year to report bills for urinary catheters and other medical equipment they said they never requested or received. The federal indictment does not say how many patients’ identities were used, and it does not name the medical providers whose information was allegedly stolen. Prosecutors said many patients and doctors did not learn their information was used until after false claims had been filed.
The next steps will move through federal court in South Florida. Hilmi faces the indictment’s fraud and money laundering counts, and prosecutors are seeking forfeiture of property tied to the alleged offenses if he is convicted. The indictment lists two specific money laundering counts tied to wire transfers from a Sunshine Senior Solutions account: about $56,089 on Feb. 21, 2025, and about $61,001 on March 17, 2025. The allegations remain unproven unless admitted in court or established at trial.
The Delray Beach storefront is now part of a wider federal case built around billing records, bank accounts, corporate filings and overseas transfers. As of Wednesday, the charges against Hilmi were pending in the Southern District of Florida, and prosecutors had not announced a trial date in the public case summary.
