Rishi Shah, co-founder of Outcome Health, has been sentenced to seven and a half years in prison for a ₹8,300 crore ($1 billion) fraud. The Indian-American entrepreneur was convicted on over a dozen charges of fraud and money laundering, deceiving major investors like Goldman Sachs and Alphabet. His co-founders, Shradha Agarwal and Brad Purdy, received lesser sentences. Shah's fraud scheme inflated the company's value, misleading investors about its financial health. The U.S. SEC also filed a civil lawsuit against Shah and others involved. The case highlights significant investor deception and corporate misconduct in the health advertising sector.
