FRESNO, Calif. — A federal grand jury returned an
eight-count indictment on April 11 against Orlando Gillam, 45, of Fresno,
charging him with mail fraud for a scheme that defrauded insurance carriers,
U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced.
According to court documents, Gillam is the founder and CEO
of Dunamis Inc. Group Home, a nonprofit that provided services that included
alcohol and drug treatment and counseling. Between January 2016 and January
2018, Gillam falsely billed insurers hundreds of thousands of dollars for
alcohol and drug treatment and counseling, mental health treatment, and group
and individual psychotherapy purportedly rendered to multiple individuals.
Those individuals did not receive the services billed, and several were not
Dunamis clients.
This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and the Office of Personnel Management Office of
Inspector General. Assistant U.S. Attorney Vincente A. Tennerelli is
prosecuting the case.
If convicted, Gillam faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20
years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Any sentence, however, would be determined
at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory
factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number
of variables. The charges are only allegations; the defendant is presumed
innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
