According to Irwin, apart from the healthcare investment, the SEC also accused the associate of Biden’s brother of misappropriating $4.7 million of funds for personal use which included more than $900,000 to pay an IRS federal tax lien.
Further reports say the lawsuit also accused Biden’s brother and Lewitt of committing fraud against Diverse Medical Management, a hospital corporation.
