Law enforcement agencies in the New York and New Jersey area have conducted several investigations into illegal activities. In New Jersey, authorities searched Waterfall Therapy in Mays Landing, recovering approximately $10,000 in cash. Jianhong Li, 54, was arrested and charged with promoting prostitution following the search. In Suffolk County, New York, James Seccadanari was arrested and charged with felony third-degree promoting prostitution. Prosecutors allege he recruited women for commercial sex work through sexual classified advertisements. The MacArthur Inn, where the alleged activity took place, had previously closed due to code violations. On October 20, 2026, federal and state agencies conducted coordinated raids on more than 100 adult daycare providers across Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island as part of a Medicaid fraud investigation. The probe targets suspected money laundering, illegal kickbacks, and improper billing, including claims for services never provided or for deceased individuals. In Staten Island, two operators from SI Day Care Center, Inc. were arrested and charged with 457 counts for allegedly bilking Medicaid of $530,000. In response, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has directed the Department of Health to consider ending the state’s $500 million Medicaid social adult day care benefit to address waste and abuse. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a compliance warning, noting that New York’s per capita spending for adult daycare is 40% to 60% higher than the national average.
