New Delhi, Feb. 20 -- Karan Gupta, age 47, a Senior Director at Optum, a subsidiary of United Health Group, was found guilty after a six-day trial on multiple counts.

These include fraud and money-laundering conspiracy for hiring an unqualified friend for a position where the friend did no work and paid half his unearned salary in kickbacks to Gupta, whose fraud totalled more than $1.2 million.
