Feds: Former NCSU football player's home paid for by Medicaid fraud
The federal government has linked the $1.5 million home of a former North Carolina State University football player and booster to suspected Medicaid fraud and believes Eric Leak and his wife, Emily, should forfeit the property as a penalty.
Posted — UpdatedThe IRS claims the Leaks bought and renovated the house using money from a Medicaid fraud scheme.
Eric Leak has also run afoul of NCAA and state policies that prohibit college athletes from accepting gifts or financial benefits from boosters.
In a 2015, federal investigators seized a high-end sports car that Leak helped purchase for N.C. State basketball player C.J. Leslie. Agents said the down payment for the car came from the counseling business.
Authorities involved in both raids declined to offer detail on what they were looking for, and Leak did not want to comment.
To date, no charges have been filed.
