Allergy tests and fraudulent results: He admitted to defrauding his customers of $5.9 million

A Canadian man has pleaded guilty to running a fraudulent allergy testing service in New York that ran for several months.

Between September 2018 and April 2019, Kyle Sui, 41, executed a scheme to defraud his company's customers by selling food and environmental sensitivity testing services on his company's website.

The allergy testing company is actively promoting its “highly rated and best-selling sensitivity and intolerance test,” which it claims can detect the body's reaction to “800 different foods and environmental substances” using a simple hair sample.

The researchers found that the hair samples were not even analyzed, but once Mr. Tsui's company received and threw in the trash. Consumers receive false results, identifying certain foods and environmental factors as “safe” while others are avoided due to consumers' sensitivities.

Mr. The Justice Department revealed that Sui had committed fraud. Originally from Ontario, the man now faces more than twenty years in prison and more than $4 million in fines. Toronto Sun.
