Doctor-Office TV Marketers Convicted in $1 Billion Fraud

  • Goldman Sachs, Illinois governor invested in Outcome Health
  • Company used phantom ad inventory to falsely boost revenue

 

Three former executives of Outcome Health, a company that provided advertising on TVs it installed in doctors’ offices across the US, were convicted of defrauding clients, lenders and investors of about $1 billion.

A federal jury in Chicago on Tuesday returned guilty verdicts against co-founders Rishi Shah and Shradha Agarwal, both 37, and former Chief Financial Officer Brad Purdy, 33, the US Department of Justice said in a statement. They were accused of lying to clients and taking money for ads that were never placed, and then misrepresenting the health of the company to investors.
