Dr. Manny Hostin Named in Major RICO Lawsuit

Dr. Emmanuel 'Manny' Hostin, the husband of 'The View' co-host Sunny Hostin, has been named in a major RICO lawsuit in New York, accused of insurance fraud alongside nearly 200 other defendants. The lawsuit, filed by American Transit Insurance Company, alleges that Hostin and others performed fraudulent medical services and billed the insurance company in exchange for kickbacks disguised as dividends. Hostin's legal representation, Daniel Thwaites, has labeled the lawsuit as 'meritless,' accusing the insurance company of using the legal system to avoid its financial responsibilities. The case represents one of the largest RICO cases in New York, targeting alleged misuse of the state's no-fault auto insurance laws. Sunny Hostin, aside from her role on 'The View,' is a legal analyst and former federal prosecutor, but there is no indication she is directly involved in the case.
