Peyman Heidary, D.C. Arrested By Riverside District Attorney. Three Other Defendants Also Arrested. Peyman's Bail Set At 5 Million Dollars.
By Lonce LaMon - July 30, 2014

Peyman Heidary, D.C., a chiropractor, was arrested in the late morning by the Riverside District Attorney’s office last Wednesday, July 23rd 2014 on Lakeport Drive in Riverside, California.  
 
Heidary had been running a law firm and several medical clinics complete with cappers. The Riverside DA has filed a 25 count Felony Complaint against him and three other defendants for workers’ compensation fraud and concomitant offenses.  
 
Heidary’s bail was set at $5,000,000 (five million dollars). This writer spoke to Deputy District Attorney, Michael Mayman, at around Noon today. I asked him to repeat that bail amount because I thought I heard him wrong.  I was a little embarrassed to ask him to repeat himself, but I couldn’t believe it.  I thought I was having cognitive dissonance.  So, Mayman repeated the bail amount: “five million dollars”.  
 
I told Mayman I found that astonishing. I explained that even Kelly Soo Park’s bail was only 3.5 million dollars, and she was indicted by a grand jury for murder in 2010. She was major fraudster Dr. Munir Uwaydah’s “enforcer” and alleged “hit woman”. That was a Los Angeles County case.
 
Sim Hoffman, M.D.’s bail was also only a million and a half as set by his cases from May 2011 and also January 2014 in Orange County, plus now Landmark Medical’s Kareem Ahmed is out of custody after posting a $900,000 bond on his case in Orange County.  
 
But this Deputy District Attorney seriously replied, “This is Riverside. Don’t mess with us.” He wasn’t joking. 
 
Mayman explained he couldn’t talk to me yet because “we’re still looking for bad guys.” No Press Releases have been issued yet by the Riverside DA’s office on this case. However, Mayman did comment that the bail on Heidary was set at five million because he was considered a flight risk.  
 
Peyman Heidary was seen in court at Riverside Hall of Justice for his first arraignment hearing just last Friday, July 25th. As of tonight, he still remains incarcerated as he most likely has not been able to raise bail. 
 
The second defendant, Cary David Abramowitz, an attorney, was arrested on Monday, July 28th by the Riverside District Atttorney’s office. His bail has also been set at five million dollars.  He was seen in court this morning.  At the top of the Complaint that was dated Friday, July 25th, the bail amount states $50,000. That amount clearly appears to have changed.  
 
Today, Michael Angel Tuosto, Jr., a capper, was arrested by the Riverside DA in Riverside, and his bail was set at $50,000. He is still incarcerated tonight and will appear in court on Friday, August 1st. 
 
Erica Torres, the fourth defendant, whose role in the conspiracy is presently unknown to this writer, was also arrested today. She was released from custody today on $50,000 bail.
 
The Complaint in several counts spells out that the defendants made false and fraudulent claims for health care benefits each in excess of $950, and that the aggregate amount exceeded $950 in one year intervals beginning January 1st 2009.  
 
In Count 2 it is alleged that all the defendants destroyed property in excess of $1,300,000 while committing the offenses.  
 
In Count 5 the allegation is made that the defendants committed two or more related felonies, a material element of which was fraud or embezzlement, which involved a pattern of related felony conduct, and that this PATTERN involved the taking of more than $500,000. This was an aggravation.  
 
Individual Counts allege that false and fraudulent claims in excess of $950 each were filed against Amtrust North America, Western States, Zenith Insurance Company, American Alternative Insurance, California Contractors Network, California Restaurant Mutual, Everest National Insurance Company, Lincoln General Insurance Company, Manufacturers Alliance Insurance Company, Pennsylvania Manufacturers Associated Insurance Company, Pennsylvania Manufacturers Indemnity Company, Tower Insurance Company, Zurich American Insurance Group, Crum & Forster, and ACE USA Insurance.
 
Count 21 alleges the practicing of medicine by Peyman Heidary and Cary David Abramowitz without a license: “a system of treating the sick without having a valid certificate.” On the Internet in several directories, Peyman Heidary is listed as Peyman Heidary, M.D. On one of the directory listings there is language that reads: All statements concerning insurance, licenses, and bonds are informational only, and are self-reported. 
 
Count 22 alleges the unlawful practice of law by Peyman Heidary and Erica Torres. 
 
In Count 25, conspiracy is alleged. All the defendants are accused of conspiring together to commit the crime of “Defrauding the State Compensation Insurance Fund”.  The defendants committed the Overt Acts of: “Submitted medical billing for non-existent injuries”.
