SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 8 – Asim Hameedi has pled guilty to medical care fraud in a case dating back to 2017, but has yet to be sentenced. It will not happen soon. A so-called Fatico hearing to determine how much forfeiture he owes was scheduled for this month, but on July 8 his able lawyer argued that holding the hearing would be dangerous during the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, his lawyer implied that he might not return to the courthouse until there is a vaccine. Even U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John G. Koeltl questioned this. But Judge Koeltl after much musing granted the adjournment, until September. The case is US v. Hameedi, et al., 17-cr-137 (Koeltl)
