A Pakistani citizen and US lawful permanent resident, Habroon Habib, admitted guilt in a US federal court for running an illegal money transmitting operation. Habib, residing in Connecticut, established “Around The World Solutions LLC” in 2025, using it to transfer funds from a Medicare fraud scheme to Pakistan. The company received over $680,000 from fraudulent Medicare claims for medical equipment.
Habib, without proper licensing, sent $425,000 in wire transfers to Pakistan from the company’s account. The fraudulent claims, totaling around $1.9 million, were linked to orthotic devices supposedly provided to 413 Medicare beneficiaries across 36 US states. Habib faces a potential five-year prison term and is awaiting sentencing on September 8 in Hartford.
Authorities discovered the illicit operation after insurers detected the alleged fraud, leading to Habib’s arrest a day before his intended flight to Pakistan. Habib remains free on a $50,000 bond until his sentencing, where he could face imprisonment for his unlawful activities.
