The chief operating officer of a COVID-19 testing company pleaded guilty on September 23, 2026, to conspiracy to commit health care fraud in a scheme that submitted more than $500 million in claims for testing services that were never provided. Hasan "Lucas" Seyhun, 45, of Miami, Florida, was COO of New York-based Fast Lab Technologies, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan.
Seyhun agreed to a forfeiture money judgment of $4,313,153, the amount prosecutors said he personally received from the scheme. The announcement did not give a sentencing date. Two co-defendants, the company's chief executive and its medical director, were charged in July 2025, and no conviction has been announced in their cases.
