S2 E10 Uber & FedEx Joint RICO
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This Deep Dive discusses the Uber and FedEx suit against the law firm of Simon and Simon. They allege that the law firm Simon & Simon orchestrated a massive racketeering scheme to inflate the value of personal injury lawsuits. The plaintiffs claim that attorney Marc Simon collaborated with a network of corrupt medical providers, including doctors and chiropractors, to fabricate fraudulent medical records and perform unnecessary procedures. These medical defendants allegedly diagnosed non-existent injuries and projected exorbitant future care costs to secure artificially high settlements. The filing details numerous specific examples where minor traffic accidents were transformed into million-dollar claims through systematic mail and wire fraud. Consequently, the companies are seeking treble damages and equitable relief under the RICO Act to stop the ongoing conspiracy.
