Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin, husband of ABC News personality Sunny Hostin, is one 
of 200 defendants who were named in a massive RICO case filed in New York 
City just before Christmas.

According to an exclusive report published by The Daily Mail, Hostin and many 
others have been accused of taking “kickbacks” and submitting fraudulent 
bills to an insurance company that typically insures Uber and Lyft drivers 
and cab companies.

The lawsuit, filed December 17, alleges that “Hostin knowingly provided 
fraudulent medical and other healthcare services including arthroscopic 
surgeries,” and then reportedly billed American Transit insurance “in 
exchange for kickbacks and/or other compensation which were disguised as 
dividends or other cash distributions.”

Daniel Thwaites, an attorney representing Hostin, gave a statement to The 
Daily Mail, saying that his client “denies each and every allegation” and 
referring to the suit as a “blanket, scattershot, meritless lawsuit by a 
near-bankrupt insurance carrier.”

Thwaites further alleged that the insurance company was intentionally 
“abusing the legal system” in an effort to “restrict health care benefits to 
its insureds and their passengers, and write off its proper obligations.”

“It is meant to intimidate and harass doctors from collecting for care given 
to American Transit insureds and their passengers,” Thwaites added. “American 
Transit has rushed into the lawsuit without ever conducting an examination of 
Dr. Hostin or expressing any concerns to his lawyers.”

Sunny Hostin, who regularly cohosts ABC’s midday talk show “The View,” also 
serves as a senior legal correspondent and analyst for the network. She is an 
attorney who previously worked as a federal prosecutor.

The Media Research Center’s Nick Fondacaro posted a clip from “The View” in 
which Hostin references her husband’s work, including his alleged attempts to 
recover payment from health insurance companies by suing them. “[He] operates 
on someone even though they don’t have insurance and then has to sue health 
insurance companies to get paid for the work that he’s been trained his whole 
life to do,” says Hostin.
