HHS-OIG Just Released FOIA Documenting There Was An Ann Arbor Police DVD As Part of the NIH Grant Investigation & Confidentiality Agreement Involving the NIH ALS Grant

  • After waiting over a year, the HHS-OIG just released the documentation from the investigation that  stemmed from the University of Michigan medical billing complaint  (transformed into NIH ALS grant investigation) fradulently filed under Myria's name.
  • For the first time, we discover that the Ann Arbor police were part of this investigation (no documentation ever disclosed by the Ann Arbor Police) with a DVD from the Ann Arbor police.
  • The HHS-OIG discuss a University of Michigan confidentiality agreement and possiblity that the agreement may shield University of Michigan from releasing documentation (which would be against DOJ guidelines).
  • Brad and Myria's March 2, 2018 interview by HHS-OIG Agent Tyson Howard (which no one can locate) regarding the grant is not documented (there are four other interviews documented).
  • The HHS-OIG claims bogus exemptions to redact the HHS-OIG agent's name in the released FOIA.
  • The investigation was forwarded to the Detroit US Attorney's Office (with no report generated per the HHS-OIG based on Brad's 2021 litigated FOIA appeal) with the US Attorney's Office declining criminal prosecution.
