<li>During 2015, Lourenco opened 23 credit cards using the identities of
three victims he had befriended, two of whom were senior citizens.
Lourenco&#x2019;s victims did not know he was using their identities to obtain
the credit cards, nor did they authorize Lourenco to obtain the credit
cards. Lourenco used the 23 credit cards to make more than $423,000 in
unauthorized purchases. He also used the debit card for a joint bank
account belonging to two of the victims to make an additional $57,000 in
unauthorized charges. Lourenco admitted that he knew at least one of his
victims was a vulnerable victim when he used the victim&#x2019;s identity to
commit his crime.<br />

arranging for, health care business, specifically pharmacogenetic (PGx)
tests. Pharmacogenetic testing, also known as pharmacogenomic testing,
is a type of genetic testing that identifies genetic variations that
affect how an individual patient metabolizes certain drugs. The illegal

in Fountain Valley, California; Irvine, California; and San Diego,
California. More than $28 million in illegal kickback payments were
exchanged by those involved in the conspiracy.<br />
