accepted, or referred any business to or from any individual entity with the knowledge that, or
i:eckless disregard for whether, the individual of' entity for or from whom' the solicitation or
referral is made, or the individual or entity who is solicited or referred, intended to violate . . .
section 550 of the Penal Code or section 1871.4 of the Insurance· Code.
It is further alleged that the said defendants, TOUBA PAKDEL-NABATI and . . .
QUYNAM NGUYEN and JASON YANG, committed two or more related felop.ies, a material
element of which was fraud or embezzlement, which involved a pattern of related felony
conduct, and this pattern of related felony conduct involved the taking of more th~ five
hundred thQusand dollars ($500,000.00) within the meariing of Penal Code section 186.11,
subdivision (a), subsection (2).
Special Allegation: Zamora
It is further alleged that the above offense was not discov.ered by .the victim( s) until
March26, 20p, when. the State Compensation Insurance F~d Investigator Phillis Shorts
began-her inquiry into suspicious circumstances of fraudulent activity.
Investigator Phillis Shorts discovered the fraudulent activity during an investigative
review into three individual worker's compensation claimant files who all 'used the same
attorney ser'Vice. and who were all treated by providers associated with clinics owned and . .
operated by Peyman Heidary.
On or about August 28, 2012, SCIF Investigator Phillis Shorts referred her findings to
an int~r-agency. team including the Office of the Riverside· County District Attorney. Further
investigation by the Riverside County District Attorney uncovered a highly s~phisticated . . ~ .
criminal organization. Over an approximately two year period, the investigation discovered
the use of cappers, law offices, and health clinics operated by support staff, chiropractors, - •/ -
arid medical doctors all working as directed byPeyman Heidary to bill for similar services
and treatment regardless of injury.
The scheme.was not discovered prior to SCIF lnve~tigator Phillis Shorts' findings due
to multiple layers of ownership and control, voluminous legal files, medical records, billing
inv:()lving hqndreds of patient victims, and multiple regulatory violations overseen by
multiple enforcement agencies.
