An investigation found that Advanced Pain and Regenerative Medical Solutions Corporation, or APRM Solutions, submitted 4,009 fraudulent claims to the Connecticut Medicaid Program for allergy immunotherapy services, the DCJ said. The agency noted that the services were either not performed, or performed by an unsupervised, unqualified person.
The scheme resulted in a profit of $659,627.66, according to the DCJ.
The Office of the Chief State’s Attorney’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit charged David Waltzer, 62, of East Haven; Eid J. Atallah, 61, of Middlebury; Terry L. Choszczyk, 65, of Seymour; and Kimberly Choszczyk, 38, of Ansonia, the DCJ said.

THE TUTUKA POWER STATION PROCUREMENT FRAUD (ESKOM)
Date: August 29, 2025 Perpetrator: Jessie Phindile Kubheka (Supplier Director)
Case Description: As part of the ongoing “cleaning up” of Eskom, Jessie Phindile Kubheka was sentenced to 12 years (with 5 years suspended) for defrauding the Tutuka Power Station. The case involved a sophisticated procurement syndicate that exploited Eskom’s emergency repair protocols. Kubheka’s company was contracted to deliver three high-specification containers for the power station. Only one container was ever delivered, and even that single unit failed to meet the required safety and technical specifications.
Despite the lack of delivery, Kubheka issued grossly inflated invoices, defrauding the utility of approximately R2.6 million. The Middelburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court ordered Kubheka to repay the full amount. This case is significant because it marks a shift in Eskom’s strategy toward “naming and shaming” suppliers and pursuing full asset recovery. It serves as a stark warning to contractors that the 2026 climate of “Zero Tolerance” for state-owned enterprise (SOE) fraud is backed by active judicial enforcement.
