A COVID-19 testing company that claimed to run more than 300 pop-up locations across the U.S. is under investigation by state and federal agencies for allegedly delivering inaccurate and even falsified test results.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Saturday searched the Rolling Meadows, Illinois, headquarters of the Center for COVID Control, founded in 2020 by married couple Akbar Syed and Aleya Siyaj, after numerous investigations had already been launched into the company, according to USA Today.
The Chicago office of the FBI did not immediately reply to CBS MoneyWatch's request for comment, nor did the Center for COVID Control. A spokesperson for the testing chain told USA Today that the company "has been in communication with a number of regulatory and law enforcement agencies regarding the company's operations" for the "past several weeks."
Out of air and pinned by an alligator to the bottom of the Cooper River in South Carolina, Will Georgitis decided his only chance to survive might be to lose his arm. The alligator had fixed its jaws around Georgitis' arm and after he tried to escape by stabbing it with the screwdriver he uses to pry fossilized shark teeth off the riverbed, the gator shook the diver and dragged him 50 feet down, Georgitis told The Post and Courier.
