DOJ Charges 324 in Largest #Healthcare #Fraud Takedown in U.S. #History โ $14.6 BILLION Scheme Involved 96 #Doctors, #Nurses, and Pharmacists Targeting #Medicare and Medicaid
The Department of Justice on Monday unveiled a record-shattering crackdown on the #corrupt underbelly of #Americaโs #health care #system. A jaw-dropping 324 defendants โ including 96 medical professionals โ have been charged in 50 federal districts and 12 states for orchestrating over $14.6 billion in intended fraud, largely targeting Medicare, Medicaid, and federal health programs meant to serve the #elderly, #disabled, and the #poor.
The takedown, spearheaded by the DOJโs Health Care Fraud Unit in coordination with HHS-OIG, the FBI, the DEA, and over a dozen state attorney general offices, marks the largest health care fraud bust in U.S. history.
โToday, as we announced the largest coordinated health care fraud takedown in the history of the Department of Justice, it marks a decisive moment in our fight to protect American taxpayers from fraudsters and to defend the integrity of Americaโs health care system,โ said Matthew R. Galeotti, DOJโs Head of the Criminal Division.
โWe are announcing today charges against 324 defendants for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately $14.6 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, and other health care programs.โ
โThese criminals didnโt just steal someone elseโs money โ they stole from you. Every fraudulent claim, every fake billing, every kickback scheme represents money taken directly from the pockets of American taxpayers who fund these essential programs through their hard work and sacrifice. And when criminals defraud these programs, theyโre not just committing theft โ theyโre driving up our national deficit and threatening the long-term viability of health care for seniors, disabled Americans, and our most vulnerable citizens.โ

Open Linux Kernel Modules Installed by Default Starting in the release 560 series, it will be recommended to use the open flavor of NVIDIA Linux Kernel Modules wherever possible (Turing or later GPUs, or Ada or later when using GPU virtualization).
The article is interesting in that it talks about pushing towards open versions of kernel modules, instead of legacy ones, and of much broader scope that the literal 2 lines you chose as title.
Because the open module is only for Turing or later GPUs, or Ada, and the open module is available for those since 2022 so it's not that big of a news.
That doesn't mean it's good they're deprecating cards to do it. They were still selling GT1030s new until relatively recently, and the GTX1080 is a perfectly workable card.
If you think open versions are cool, how about them just open-sourcing the Maxwell & Pascal drivers? Oh, that's right, they won't because the "special sauce" is in the driver, not the card BIOS like it is for the Turing & up families.
my 750 ti works. nouveau can't increase the clock speed to the operating clock on boot, on boot the display on that card shows random data with colorful pixels, and nvtop does not see it either, but it works.
NVK doesn't support older cards though last time I checked. Pretty funny how I ended up with a stack of paperweights because NVidia dropped support and Nouveau/NVK can't get their shit together and instead of focusing on existing hardware they rather keep chasing the "latest and greatest".
(Perhaps asking silly questions in order to understand, I've never totally understood the nvidia driver numbers and what they mean, i just kinda installed some and they seem to work and i just forgot about them, i can run the modest games i like)
So just for clarity the 580 drivers will support my 980Ti right? How long will those be supported for? Will there come a time that i will not be able to properly use this card with linux and run (modest games) games on it?
The 980Ti as stated by the Dirk's comment use Maxwell architecture, I'm not able to find any end of support date on the site, so I'm not sure when they will drop support.
Will there come a time that i will not be able to properly use this card with linux and run (modest games) games on it?
Unfortunately you don't need to wait to see this happens, because it's already happening right now, indeed dx12 games have a lot of problems running on this older cards on linux, and I myself experienced this with my 1060 first with cyberpunk 2077 and after that with resident evil 2 remastered.
As even stated by doitsujin (dxvk creator):
Low D3D12 performance on Nvidia Pascal (and older) GPUs is expected and likely won't improve much. The hardware has a bunch of limitations that make it very hard to extract good performance. Turing fares better, but only AMD actually runs reasonably well right now.
System: Arch linux 5.9.13, gtx 1070 (455.46.02), Ryzen 9, latest git build of DXVK and vkd3d-proton, wine staging 6.0rc2. vulkaninfo.txt When i run mentioned games on windows i get stable 60fps wit...
Ah thanks for the reply. That is a shame about DX12, i must have not tried any of these cos i've found all games i pick run great (i mostly play 2D non intensive indie games). I did play some Death Stranding and was very surprised by how well it ran!
I'll go for AMD if i can next time (i've been doing well getting hand me downs from friends who love getting the latest stuff for themselves!)
I know it's a generation later but the 1660ti I bought secondhand just before the pandemic is also working like a beast. If I had a lot of disposable income maybe I would've upgraded but it's performing so good that I'd rather spend the 1500+ bucks on a different project like a NAS for jellyfin.
I was just thinking, I wish a trillion dollar company would figure out a way to turn a few billion dollars worth of usable hardware into e-waste today.
Hopefully people dumping these cards drives down the used prices.

What if things you wanted came true in the worst possible way?
I was 12 years old in 1974, the year Watergate unfolded on America's television screens. I've been interested in politics ever since. Watergate and Vietnam are a frame that still affects my vision of politics today.
The utter immorality of the war in Vietnam and the clear violations of law and ethics in Nixon's election rigging seemed to be crimes worthy of strict, harsh punishment and yet... nothing changed. I watched and protested and voted and marched and 50 years passed and a convicted felon got elected.
I hate it. But I always wanted the CIA to get reduced. I always wanted US influence in the world to wane. Suddenly, the EU is moving away from its long dependance on American military. I always wanted Wall Street to mean less in the world. Now, the US markets are becoming untenable for the world's money. I 'm getting so many things I wanted and I hate it.
I hate it because it is going to come at the cost of people who are innocent being chewed up in the fascist machine. I hate it because children are suffering. I hate it because I have friends and family in fear, through no fault of their own, for no reason other than rank bigotry. I hate that people I thought were friends turned out to be perfectly fine with fascism.
If there is a silver lining, I guess it's that there is no going back to "normal" at this point. The media might convince Americans that it can, even that it is.
But the world knows now that they have to find a different path. That's something.
Not sure I get this. You hate it and want it destroyed but at the same time are sad because the people working in the fascist regime are going to be put out?
@Remittancegirl I am a bit older than you. Kent State/Cambodia was the turning point for me and I have studied/worked for a different international role for the CIA and the US in general the more I learned. But I naively assumed that new role would be a result of increasing compassion and knowledge rather than the opposite of that.

Had my talk on Small Web accepted at #why2025 but I hadnโt realised (my bad) that not only do you have to cover your own travel and accommodation but you also have to buy a ticket to speak. Iโm sorry, as part of a tiny two-person not-for-profit working for the common good, I canโt afford to pay to speak at events. Iโm not Deloitte. So I sadly had to withdraw my talk.
If any conferences do want to hear about the Small Web and are willing to support our work by paying us to speak about it, please feel free to get in touch:
When we organised the Indie Tech Summitยน โ an international conference with zero sponsors that we funded entirely through ticket sales โ we made sure our priority was that we could break even while at the very least paying speakers travel and accommodation. We treated them like royalty, even picking them up from the airport. Itโs really about priorities. No one ever says theyโre not going to pay the venue or the catering staff, or, worse, that theyโre going to ask the catering staff and the venue to pay them. But for some reason with speakers โ especially those who do not work in Big Tech or the mainstream โ itโs apparently fine. I donโt enjoy living under capitalism but if weโre going to move to a post-capitalist future, itโs not going to happen by making those of us working on the alternatives that respect and protect human rights and democracy poorer for the privilege of attempting to inform people about their existence.

this seems to be because of the 301 redirects which attempt to set a deflect_session cookie, which firefox + noscript strips on page reload as far as I can tell, causing an infinite reload loop

Effective corporate governance is about making informed decisions, clearly defining responsibilities, and addressing risks before they become serious problems.
Running a business in Singapore involves more than just meeting filing deadlines. Effective corporate governance is about making informed decisions, clearly defining responsibilities, and addressing risks before they become serious problems.
For companies, especially private limited ones, strong governance reduces legal risks, builds investor trust, and ensures operational efficiency. Here's a practical guide to getting it right.
Understand Your Legal Obligations
Every company registered in Singapore must comply with the Companies Act, which outlines directors' duties: act in the company's best interest, avoid conflicts, and maintain accurate records. Non-compliance can lead to fines or directorship disqualification.
Corporate secretarial services are vital for meeting these requirements. They handle tasks like filing annual returns, drafting resolutions, and ensuring records are accurate and accessible. This isn't just about complianceโit's about protecting your business.
The Crucial Role of a Company Secretary
Singapore law requires every company to appoint a company secretary. This role goes beyond administrative tasks, involving expertise in meeting protocols, ACRA submissions, and compliance with the company's constitution.
Many businesses opt for outsourced corporate secretarial services. This approach is often more cost-effective and ensures a qualified professional keeps things in order, particularly for smaller teams.
Make Board Meetings Effective
Board meetings are more than a legal obligationโthey're where strategy is set and risks are identified early. Skipping or rushing them can lead to undocumented decisions and unclear accountability.
Even small boards with a few directors benefit from regular, documented meetings. This ensures alignment and supports the company's growth.
Balance Power and Oversight
In smaller companies, one person might serve as director, shareholder, and manager. While legal, this can lead to unchecked decisions or oversights.
Where possible, separate these roles or ensure key decisions are reviewed by another party. A second perspective on contracts or finances can prevent errors and maintain balance.
Communicate With Shareholders
Shareholder disputes often arise from miscommunication or missing records. These are avoidable. Keep your share register updated, document ownership clearly, and notify shareholders about meetings or major decisions.
These steps are mandated by Singapore law and often managed by a company secretary. However, it's your responsibility to ensure they're done correctly.
Prioritize Accurate Recordkeeping
A common mistake is assuming records are being maintained when they're not. Missing documents can complicate fundraising or business sales.
Ensure your company has: - An up-to-date constitution - Accurate registers - Resolutions for key decisions - Proper financial statements
Many corporate secretarial services in Singapore offer digital storage solutionsโuse them and review records periodically.
Anticipate Potential Risks
Good governance means thinking about what could go wrong. Consider: - Are you monitoring cash flow? - Is customer data secure? - What's the plan if a key employee leaves?
You don't need a formal risk committee to address these. Regular discussions about potential risks can keep your business prepared.
Stay Informed on Regulatory Changes
Singapore's regulations are clear but evolve over time. Deadlines shift, new reporting standards emerge, and incentives change.
A reliable secretarial services Singapore provider will notify you of relevant updates. If managing compliance in-house, ensure someone tracks changes from ACRA, IRAS, or MOM. Ignorance isn't a valid excuse.
Final Thoughts
Corporate governance doesn't need to be complexโit just requires consistency. Clear roles, accurate records, and proactive risk management strengthen your business, whether you're scaling or staying compliant.
A capable company secretary, whether in-house or through corporate secretarial services, is more than a legal necessity. They're a key partner in ensuring compliance and clarity.
Being in business in Singapore is associated with numerous roles, including legal and regulatory requirements of which companies must comply to remain legal.
