ONE of the money men behind the developer of the Ground Zero mosque was sued for allegedly ripping off an insurance company for nearly $1.8 ($1.97) million
Hisham Elzanaty, who owns medical companies that operate out of a building in The Bronx, New York, allegedly billed State Farm Insurance for unnecessary tests related to automobile accidents that would maximise the insurance payout, the papers said
According to the documents, which were filed in 2007, the suspected scheme may have begun as early as 1998, the New York Post reported, citing court documents.
Mr Elzanaty, who was reportedly a “significant investor” in mosque developer Sharif el Gamal’s $4.8 million purchase of the former Burlington Coat Factory building, was also ordered to repay $331,000 after an audit showed Medicaid overpaid him.
