West Palm Beach Fort Pierce, FL, November 13, 2026 — A man identified as Jacquez Dion Tullis, residing in Wellington, has received a seven-year sentence in federal prison. This sentencing is in connection with a substantial fraud scheme that generated approximately $2.3 million. The scheme involved the operation of sham cosmetic surgery clinics.
Investigations revealed that Tullis utilized the stolen identities of more than 100 individuals as part of the fraudulent activities. The $2.3 million obtained through these operations is attributed to the cosmetic surgery clinic fraud.
In addition to the cosmetic surgery clinic scheme, Tullis was also found to be involved in separate instances of fraud related to COVID-19 relief funds. The summary indicates these were distinct fraudulent activities from the larger cosmetic surgery clinic operation.
The exact date of the sentencing and the specific court where the proceedings took place were not provided in the summary. Details regarding the recovery of the $2.3 million or the specific methods used in the COVID-19 relief fraud were also not specified.
The use of stolen identities in financial crimes is a serious offense, and the involvement of sham clinics highlights a method employed to deceive victims and financial institutions. The dual nature of the fraud, encompassing both fraudulent clinics and COVID-19 relief, underscores the breadth of the illegal activities.
