COVID CONS IN $124M SWINDLE!

Quack couple peddled phony tests & tricked U.S. gov’t into paying

- 

A SHAMELESS Illinois couple with minimal medical experience have bilked the government out of more than $124 million for phony COVID-19 test results, charge authorities.

Akbar Syed, 35, and his wife, Aleya Siyaj, 29, not only betrayed people shaken to their core by the pandemic but also flaunted their allegedly ill-gotten gains — including a lavish mansion and pricey rare cars — on social media.

But now their companies, Center for COVID Control (CCC) and Doctors Clinical Laboratory, Inc. — which operated some 300 pop-up testing sites across the nation — are under investigation for fraud by federal agencies and state prosecutors in Minnesota, Illinois and Oregon.
