ALLISON, Assistant United States Attorney (Mathew Andrews, Timothy V. Capozzi, and Olga I. Zverovich, Assistant United States Attorneys, on the brief), for Jay Clayton, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, New York, NY. Appeal from an order of restitution of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Gardephe, J.). UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the order of the district court is AFFIRMED. Roman Israilov pleaded guilty pursuant to a plea agreement to conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud and aggravated identity theft in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 1028A. He was convicted of participating in a healthcare fraud scheme in which Israilov and his co-conspirators secretly owned and controlled medical clinics that were required by law to be owned by licensed physicians. They bribed 911 operators and hospital workers to obtain confidential information of car-accident victims, steered those victims to the clinics through deceptive outreach, and submitted insurance claims for treatments that were unnecessary, never provided, or exaggerated. The district court sentenced Israilov to seven years’ imprisonment, to be followed by a three-year term of supervised release. It also entered an order of restitution under the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act (“MVRA”), 18 U.S.C. § 3663A et seq., holding Israilov and two codefendants jointly and severally liable for $46 million that insurance companies paid to the corrupt clinics. Israilov appeals from the order of restitution. We assume the parties’ familiarity with
