United States v. Rufai, No. 12-6034 (10th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseAt a joint trial, a jury acquitted Defendant-Appellant Olalekan Rufai and Adedayo Adegboye of one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud, and convicted them of five counts of aiding and abetting health care fraud. The government and defendant agreed that an unindicted third party knowingly filed fraudulent claims on behalf of a medical equipment company set up by defendants. Defendant Rufai argued on appeal that the trial evidence was insufficient to show that he knowingly and willfully participated in the fraud. Upon careful consideration of the trial court record, the Tenth Circuit agreed with defendant and reversed his convictions on all counts.
