FBI grabs ex-Boca fugitive after TV viewer provides tip
Sheldon Weinberg and his wife, Roslyn, once enjoyed a $2.5 million lakefront home in Boca Raton, yachts, custom cars and an $18,000-a-month apartment in the Trump Tower in New York.
But by the time federal agents caught up with them on Thursday, the couple had assumed a less flashy lifestyle, living under false names in a garden apartment in Scottsdale, Ariz.
The FBI was able to track Sheldon Weinberg, convicted of the largest Medicaid fraud in history, after he was portrayed on Wednesday on a national television program, Unsolved Mysteries.
Weinberg, 64, and his two sons were convicted on Nov. 30, 1988 of stealing more than $16 million from Medicaid between 1980 and 1987. Sheldon Weinberg was to have been sentenced in January, when he and his wife fled. They were living under the names Mark and Anna Divita when the FBI found them in Scottsdale.
During the trial, prosecutors said he and his sons filed for an estimated 400,000 Medicaid reimbursements, an average of about 12,000 a month, for patient visits that did not occur while the Weinbergs operated a health-care clinic in a low-income area of Brooklyn, N.Y.
They used the profits to acquire their apartment in New York, a fleet of custom cars and the lavishly furnished home in Boca Raton. "It is fitting indeed that ordinary citizens, whose millions of stolen tax dollars directly financed Sheldon Weinberg's obscenely lavish lifestyle...should be the instrument of his ultimate downfall," New York's Deputy Attorney General Edward J. Kuriansky said.
After the Unsolved Mysteries episode portraying Weinberg, hundreds of viewers responded. One caller gave the FBI Weinberg's alias and address.
FBI agents arrived at Weinberg's apartment a few hours after the program aired. Following extradition proceedings in Arizona, Weinberg will be returned to New York to serve a 7-to-21-year prison term.
This report was supplemented with information from the Associated Press and written by Amy DePaul which appeared in the South Florida Sun Sentinel on May 20th 1989

Sheldon Weinberg was born to Philip and Freda Weinberg in Brooklyn, New York. Philip was born in Russia and Freda had been born in Austria.
Sheldon married Roslyn Weinberg and they had two sons, Jay and Ronald. He was a veteran of World War II, having enlisted in 1943.
Sheldon was the subject of an Unsolved Mysteries episode that aired May 17th, 1989. He and his sons Jay and Ronald ran a clinic named the "Bed-Stuy Health Care Clinic" for the poor in Brooklyn where they would defraud Medicaid by submitting false claims. It is estimated that while in business they stole just under $30 million, dollars making it one of the largest Medicaid frauds in history.
Their scheme ran from 1978 through 1986, at which time one of their physicians was arrested when attempting to deposit their Medicaid checks. In 1987 Jay and Ronald were arrested and in November 1988 convicted and sentenced to 8 and 5 years. Sheldon, however, fled with his wife Roslyn in January 1989 before his sentencing.
As was not uncommon with Unsolved Mysteries, Sheldon was caught by the FBI on an anonymous tip the night of the original broadcast. Sheldon was living in an apartment in Scottsdale Arizona, going under the name "Mark" and his wife "Ann DiVita". He served 16 years in prison and died in 2007.
