Federal prosecutors this month formally moved to seize a home, hundreds of thousands of dollars, vehicles and a trove of precious metals swept up in a fraud investigation involving a Grand Junction-based health care business.

Anthony Paul Breaux, 33, of Palisade, formerly the owner of Honor-Bound Heathcare Providers Inc., earned more than $3.4 million that can be linked to a scheme to defraud a federal compensation program for uranium-industry workers, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tonya Andrews alleged in a filing Jan. 6.
Andrews’ filing asks U.S. District Judge Christine Arguello to order the forfeiture of a home at 333 33 1/3 Road, just over $766,000 in cash or accounts, a 2010 Nissan GT-R Premium, a 2010 GMC Sierra, a 2007 GMC Sierra, a 2011 KZ Spree travel trailer, three ounces of gold and approximately 110 ounces of silver.
Breaux is free on bond and scheduled to be sentenced March 16 in U.S. District Court in Denver, when he faces a maximum possible 20 years in prison under a plea agreement with prosecutors. Breaux on Nov. 10 pleaded guilty to health care fraud and money laundering involving more than $10,000.
A grand jury indictment issued Sept. 1 alleged Breaux’s business defrauded the U.S. government by submitting false documentation for various in-home health services, some of which never were provided.
Breaux’s former office at the Business Incubator Center was raided by federal authorities July 8.
