As owner of the Kings Enterprise, Mr. Eze submitted hundreds of false claims between 2006 and 2007 to Medicare and other insurers for durable medical equipment, prosecutors argued. Prosecutors also argued Mr. Eze made a false statement in his Medicare enrollment application by failing to include the name of an individual who received 75 percent of the company’s gross profits, according to the report.
