HOUSTON (KTRK) - A Houston man known for loud parties and splashy Instagram posts showing off his lavish lifestyle is in federal detention Tuesday, along with his accountant.
Prosecutors allege he paid for his Bentley and $2 million mansion through a massive Medicare fraud scheme.
A pre-dawn raid at a home the neighbors know better as a late-night party house.
Nobody expected that the owner, 4M Pharmaceuticals CEO Mohammed Mokbel, would be led away in handcuffs, facing serious federal charges.
