Kareem Ahmed's Five Million Dollar Cash Bond Keeps Him On His Travel Schedule And Filing His Liens With The WCAB
By Lonce LaMon - June 28, 2016
Just a week ago yesterday, on Monday morning, June 20th 2016, all the defendants in the Landmark case in Orange County Superior Court were ushered over from Judge Thomas Goethals court to court room C-55 in order to be arraigned by Judge Andre Manssourian. Judge Goethals told his court room, “I’m not going to be the new magistrate,” and that he was not disposed to handle the arraignments either.
Thus, once over in C-55, Kareem Ahmed’s defense counsel, Benjamin Gluck, in a fine grey suit stood up before the magistrate brand new to the case and explained that his client since the days of the now up-in-smoke indictment has been allowed travel within the United States. Kareem Ahmed is the CEO of Landmark Medical Management.
Judge Manssourian: As long as the bond company doesn’t object to that.
Kareem Ahmed Defense Counsel, Benjamin Gluck: It’s a cash bond.
Excuse me? Yes. It’s a cash bond of FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
While the other 18 defendants in this newly filed case of 12 separate complaints had their bails bonded out mostly with collateral, Kareem Ahmed put up his bond for bail set at five million dollars with cash.
The previous Indictment was filed on June 17, 2014. The Writ of Mandate on that Indictment was won by the defense before the Fourth Appellate District Court of Appeals on March 10th 2016. The only remnant that’s left of that Indictment now is Count 1 against former Landmark Vice-President, Bruce Curnick.
Shaddi Kamiabipour, the deputy district attorney who has been prosecuting this case from its inception, appeared in court in a becoming print dress of yellowy circles on a purple fabric. She advised the judge on the 12 different complaints.
DDA Shaddi Kamiabipour: For practical reasons, I recommend that the court take them one at a time.
So, one of the Felony Complaints amongst the 12 is against Kareem Ahmed, Andrew Robert Jarminski, M.D., Michael Rudolph (a pharmacist), and Norma Reyna Garner (Kareem Ahmed’s collections representative). That complaint will be made available at the bottom of this writing. It will be referred to as the “Ahmed Complaint” which is against the four specific aforementioned defendants.
Kareem Ahmed sat in C-55 in the end seat of a center row of the center orchestra section a week ago Monday with Norma Garner and his marketing manager, Yvette Charbonnet. Yvette looked exquisite in a beige sleeveless dress which was beautifully tailored to her flawless figure. She is being charged in a complaint together with pharmacist Curtis Hague and Daniel Capen, M.D.

The Ahmed Complaint consists of 86 counts, 10 overt acts, with other allegations and enhancements.
In Count 82, the prosecution alleges that Kareem Ahmed and his collections representative, Norma Garner, presented multiple claims with the intent to defraud Zenith Insurance Company between December 28, 2012 and December 23, 2015. The later date of December 23rd 2015 jumps out as well after the Indictment was filed on June 17th 2014. Thus, Ahmed was still engaged in his usual and customary conduct almost a year and a half after he was indicted.
Count 86 describes how Kareem Ahmed up until April 16, 2016 allegedly acted with intent to defraud Berkshire Hathaway by filing multiple claims for payment of the same health care benefit. That date is close to nearly two years after the Indictment.
The brazenness and audacity of Ahmed is further described in Overt Act 9 where the prosecution states that Ahmed instructed Norma Garner to use delay tactics and hide the terms of the kickback agreements with the doctors and pharmacists because he knew the claims would be deemed false and fraudulent and would not be paid by the workers’ compensation payers. Overt Act 10 describes how the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board issued a Court Order demanding to know the terms of Kareem Ahmed’s agreements with various doctors and pharmacists. But Ahmed continued to give direction to Norma Garner and an attorney to hide the terms and persist with collections, which they did on March 10th 2016 and April 14th 2016 in case number ADJ2262813.
Between June 27th 2014—which was ten days after the Indictment was filed—and December 31, 2015, the prosecution alleges that Kareem Ahmed paid $800,000 in lien activation or filing fees to collect on over $58 million dollars in false claims based upon kick-backs paid to medical providers. This allegation is written as Overt Act 7.
Not even an Indictment and then a subsequent felony case filing is stopping Ahmed’s ambition.
