Doctor Vanished in Mysterious Nighttime Boating Accident After Being Charged in $100M Fraud Scheme
A New York City doctor who was charged in a federal $100 million health fraud scheme is missing after he fell off a boat in an alleged collision during a midnight excursion off the coast of Long Island in mid-October, say authorities.
Dr. Marvin Moy was one of more than a dozen doctors and others who were arrested and charged by federal authorities for allegedly stealing more than $100 million from insurance companies, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
On the night of Oct. 12, Moy took his boat for a ride in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Long Island with another passenger on board, according to a statement from the U.S. Coast Guard, Fox News and the New York Post report.
Just after midnight on Thursday, Oct. 13, his boat hit a larger vessel about 25 miles off the coast of Fire Island, which sent Moy overboard, the Coast Guard said.
The Coast Guard received a report about an "alleged collision," it said in a statement.
The Coast Guard was able to find the passenger on the boat, but not Moy, a Coast Guard spokesperson told the New York Post.
