Agency official urges public to help locate two suspects tied to alleged genetic‑testing fraud
Summary
An agency official announced two people were added to a most‑wanted fraud list and asked the public to contact the FBI with tips. The speaker named Khalid Sattari, accused in an alleged $547 million genetic‑testing fraud, and Emily Tai, accused of roughly $90 million and said to have fled to Vietnam.
An agency official announced the addition of two people to a most‑wanted fraud list and urged the public to contact the FBI with any information, citing a large, alleged genetic‑testing fraud scheme.
"We're adding 2 more individuals to the most wanted fraudster list," the agency official said, and later added, "There is no such thing as bad information," framing a public appeal for tips.
The official identified one suspect as Khalid Sattari, described in the remarks as wanted in connection with a $547,000,000 genetic‑testing scheme and believed to be hiding in the United Arab Emirates. The official named a second suspect as Emily Tai (the transcript also renders the surname as "Thai"), saying she is wanted in the same scheme for alleged theft of about $90,000,000 and was previously on an ankle monitor before reportedly fleeing to Vietnam.
"So if the American public or anyone in the world has information on Emily Tai, please call" the FBI tip line, the official said, adding, "We need your information. We need your help." The transcript contains several garbled renderings of the phone sequence; the official directed listeners to contact the FBI tip line but did not provide a clearly transcribable number in the record.
The speaker also pointed to recent enforcement results, saying, "You saw what we did in just 2 weeks by apprehending 2 of the most wanted fraudsters." The remarks credited the attorney general's leadership and the White House's prioritization of fraud enforcement, saying those efforts helped interagency teams pursue suspects "from the 4 corners of the world."
The official did not provide court filings, indictment details, arrest dates, or the jurisdictions seeking the suspects; those details were not specified in the remarks. No responses from persons named in the announcement appear in the transcript.
The agency official closed the appeal by again asking anyone with information to contact the FBI tip line; the transcript wording of the phone strings is unclear, so readers should consult FBI public materials for confirmed contact numbers.
