Seyhun admitted in court that he and co‑conspirators submitted false claims for COVID‑19 tests that were never performed, siphoning more than $500 million from federal and state programs.
Fast Lab marketed its tests as free, luring millions of consumers who supplied insurance information. Prosecutors say the company then billed for antigen, saliva, and PCR services that never took place, some even before kits were delivered.
Seyhun, 45, of Miami, worked with CEO Cemhan “Jimmy” Biricik and Medical Director Dr. Martin Perlin. Together, they orchestrated the scheme, generating at least $35 million in illicit payments.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan, alongside the FBI Detroit Field Office, the Office of Inspector General and Michigan’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, conducted the probe.
Seyhun agreed to a forfeiture judgment of $4,313,153 and faces sentencing in the coming weeks. The plea is part of a broader effort to hold pandemic‑era fraudsters accountable.
