DETROIT — The whistle-blower who helped expose Farid Fata, the former oncologist who intentionally misdiagnosed hundreds of patients with cancer, has settled his lawsuit against the criminal for $1.7 million.

The case is not over yet, however, as the Free Press reports that additional allegations are emerging against new defendants. The defendants’ identities will remain anonymous for several months while the U.S. Attorney’s Office investigates the complaints, according to federal documents.

The lawsuit was initially filed in 2013 by Fata’s business manager, George Karadsheh, who exposed Fata, Fata’s wife, the Swan For Life Cancer Foundation and several others.

The whistle-blower agreed to receive less than the expected 15 percent to 25 percent of the forfeited money so the victims can get more, Karadsheh’s attorney, David Haron, told the Free Press.

“George agreed to take less than he was entitled so the victims would get more; we’re just waiting for the payment,” Haron told the Free Press. “The payments have to come from the amounts that were forfeited.”

Cancer specialist Fata of Rochester Hills was indicted and pled guilty in September 2014 for intentionally misdiagnosing more than 550 patients with cancer and administering unnecessary deadly doses of chemotherapy. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison and is currently appealing his conviction.

Karadsheh revealed his employer’s illegal practices to authorities when several other employees voiced their concerns to him, according to Haron. Fata’s clinic was raided in Aug. 2013. Fata fired his manager the next day on suspicion that he was involved in turning him in.
