Owner of California Blood Testing Laboratory Pleads Guilty to Tax and Health Care Related Crimes

A California man pleaded guilty yesterday to tax and health care related crimes. The following is according to court documents and statements made in court: from approximately 2015 to 2023, Armen Muradyan, of Burbank, owned and operated Genex Laboratories, a blood testing laboratory. Muradyan paid a nominee to pose as Genex's owner, even though Muradyan solely controlled all aspects of Genex and the nominee neither owned nor operated Genex. The nominee also held Genex's bank accounts into which Medicare deposited more than $23 million in reimbursements. Muradyan provided the nominee annual financial summaries purporting to show Genex had little or no income tax liability, and he instructed the nominee to report Genex's financial activity on the nominee's personal tax returns. The nominee provided these financial documents to his tax preparer, who prepared the nominee's tax returns using the false information provided by Muradyan.
