About 30 employees were in on the scam — nearly a third of the contracted medical worker staff, the Justice Department said. The Justice Department secured a guilty plea last week from one of them, Neery Velazquez, who had taken Uncle Sam for more than $180,000. Velazquez admitted to living in the San Diego area but claimed he still lived in Las Vegas and commuted…
