owner of CK, and Elkholy was not aware of the name change from
“Clinica Santa Maria” to “Clinica Kholy”.
Elkholy returned to Connecticut without deciding whether to
purchase an interest in the medical clinics.
In November of 1997, Ahmed began negotiating for the sale of
one of the medical clinics (the Lynwood Clinic) to a Dr. Basil
Falahy (Falahy). Ahmed conducted the negotiations with a
Patricia Fusilier (Fusilier) as a representative of Falahy.
During the negotiations, Ahmed represented that Elkholy owned the
Lynwood Clinic and that Ahmed only acted on Elkholy’s behalf.
Later in 1997, Elkholy contacted Ahmed’s accountant Saghir
and inquired into the $600,000 proposed price for the purchase of
an interest in the medical clinics. Saghir suggested to Elkholy
that the asking price was too high, and Saghir informed Elkholy
that Ahmed already was using Elkholy’s name in connection with
the operation and ownership of the medical clinics. Elkholy
contacted Ahmed, and Ahmed denied using Elkholy’s name in
connection with the clinics.
In late 1997, the California Board of Pharmacy (Pharmacy
Board) began an investigation of the operation of the K & M
pharmacies for possible violations of California law. To conceal
his ownership of the pharmacies from the Pharmacy Board, Ahmed
transferred nominal ownership of the K & M pharmacies to Hussein
Darwish (Darwish), one of the employees at the pharmacies.
