A former employee of Scripps Health in San Diego is accused of stealing the personal information of dozens of patients as part of a scheme to file fraudulent pandemic-related unemployment claims in their names, according to a federal complaint.
He had been in the position for about a year and a half when he was recruited last August into a scheme run by Konrad Piekos and others, according to a special agent with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Inspector General.Lombardo is accused of sending at least dozens of names to Piekos, who would then, with his associates, file unemployment claims and direct the funds to addresses he controlled, according to the complaint.“This guy died a few hours ago.
“Lol OK lots of those. We want old people?” Lombardo answered. Piekos then directed him to find “someone 55 or younger who is on their way out.... Maybe a couple days left or something,” according to the complaint. In dozens of cases, Lombardo is accused of sending screenshots of files of pregnant patients, including their obstetrician’s name, delivery date and spouse’s information.Agents later interviewed some of patients, who confirmed that they’d been treated at Scripps Health facilities but denied ever filing for unemployment. The complaint does not name specific facilities.
