RUMSON MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO KICKBACKS
A Rumson man controlled a slush fund of $800,000 used to bribe physicians in a scheme that netted more than $100 million in illegal income, federal authorities said Monday.
Cliff Antell, 38, no street address given, was one of seven people associated with Parsippany-based Biodiagnostic Laboratory Services who pleaded guilty to a kickback and money laundering scheme in federal District Court in Newark, U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Paul Fishman said in a press release.
The scheme, in which doctors were bribed to steer blood-test clients to BLS, victimized Medicare as well as private healthcare insurers, Fishman said.
