Satary allegedly conspired with dozens of patient recruiters, telemarketing call centers, and telemedicine companies to utilize deceptive marketing campaigns and illegal kickbacks and bribes to generate cancer genetic test samples that reimbursed between $10,000 to $20,000 per sample. Through his laboratories, Satary billed Medicare for over $547 million. He also allegedly paid millions of dollars of illegal kickbacks and bribes to doctors and patient recruiters. On September 26, 2019, Satary was indicted in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, New Orleans, Louisiana.

On November 23, 2022, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Satary in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, New Orleans, Louisiana, for pre-trial release violation.
