Former NFL Player Joel French Sentenced in $200M Fraud Case

Joel French, a former All-American at the University of Mississippi and ex-Seattle Seahawks tight end, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for his role in a nearly $200 million Medicare fraud scheme. Federal prosecutors said French helped target elderly Americans through illegal telemarketing operations involving unnecessary medical braces, resulting in millions of dollars in fraudulent healthcare claims.
