The Chief Financial Officer of SpineFrontier, Inc., a spinal implant company, formerly based in Malden, Mass., pleaded guilty in connection with a kickback scheme to bribe surgeons to use company products in exchange for sham consulting fees. Aditya Humad, 41, of Cambridge, Mass., pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the Anti-Kickback Statute. Humad was charged in September 2021 along with the company SpineFrontier, as well as Dr. Kingsley R. Chin, SpineFrontier’s Founder, President and CEO. Humad paid and conspired to pay over $540,000 in bribes to surgeons in the form of sham consulting fees for work they did not perform. Humad and Chin bribed surgeons to use SpineFrontier’s products, and in turn, SpineFrontier received millions of dollars in revenue from surgeries the surgeons performed.
