U.S. District Judge William H. Jung has sentenced Daniel Tondre (52, Tampa) to four years in federal prison for his role in a health care fraud kickback conspiracy. The court also ordered him to forfeit $483,000, the proceeds of his offenses and to pay a $25,000 fine. On May 24, 2022, a federal jury had found Tondre and Dr. Steven Chun (59, Sarasota) guilty of conspiring to pay and receive kickbacks and bribes, in the form of speaker fees, in return for prescribing the fentanyl spray, Subsys. Both were convicted of five separate substantive counts of paying and receiving kickbacks, and Tondre was also convicted of two counts of identification fraud. Chun was sentenced to three years and six months' imprisonment on December 5, 2022.
