A New York-based orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin, is in the thick of controversy for an alleged insurance fraud scheme today. He is one of the almost 200 people named defendants in a lawsuit filed against Dr.Hostin on December 17, 2024, by the American Transit Insurance Company under the Federal RICO Act.
Professional Background and Personal Life
In addition to his active practice, Dr. Hostin owns the Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre in Manhattan. He married View co-host Sunny Hostin in 1998. The couple has two children, a son aged 22 and a daughter aged 18, who all live in New York.
Allegations and Legal Proceedings
As claimed in the suit by American Transit, up and cozies, which service the availed ID cards, skilled medical care of no value was provided, and fraudulent medical expense claims were filed with the American Transit Insurance Company. There are assertions that he was compensated with insufficient dividends or other distributions labeled as retribution. The American Transit Insurance Company, which chiefly insures taxi and rideshare drivers, wishes to receive damages upwards of $450 million while citing far-reaching no-fault insurance abuse in New York state.
Defense and Public Response
As for Dr. HHostin’s legal representation, lawyer Daniel Thwaites poured cold water on such assertions, stating that the smear accusation, teaming with the financial straits that have led the law firm and their client to make such meritless allegations, should be the strongest counterclaim to slander, which should be afforded primary reference.
He claims that the litigation seeks to coerce and target physicians from attempting to collect reimbursement for treatment rendered to insured patients.
Sunny Hostin has publicly defended her husband, asserting that their family will not be subdued by what they view as frivolous allegations. She accuses American Transit of using her reputation to orchestrate a character assassination against her. She intends to seek a 5 million dollar defamation and emotional distress suit against them.
Possible Outcomes
If Hostin were to point criminal charges against him, and he was found guilty of federal insurance fraud under RICO violation, the loss would be great, as the fines and his time spent in prison would be long. RICO violations can bear up to 20 years in prison per count for racketeering. But for now, Dr. Hostin has not been criminally indicted; the case currently undergoing stems from a civil suit the insurance company filed.
Dr. Emmanuel Hostin is facing some serious allegations, and due to his wife, Sunny, being a public influence, the media may pay him a lot of attention. Dr. Hostin and his legal representatives have categorically denied any incrimination and are ready to challenge all the allegations in court.
With the passage of time, more information is likely to come to light, which will help in assessing the details and merits of the claims, including what the fallouts would be for Dr Hostin and his family.
