From 2013, an FBI notice about a CFS physician and her clinic-CEO husband (Carol Ann Ryser and Michael Earl Ryser) who were arrested on various counts of fraud. Ryser seems to have been mentioned just a couple of times on PR.
I thought the following language was interesting though (and further below also)...

And an FBI mention of CFS in 2001 in a different incident:
What other words could fit in this sentence??

U.S. Attorney’s Office... Carol Ryser owned Health Centers of America-Kansas City LLC (HCA), a medical clinic in Kansas City, Missouri, that was closed yesterday as part of today’s plea agreement. HCA purported to specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases such as Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and other auto immune diseases.

And an FBI mention of CFS in 2001 in a different incident:
In March 2001, Gregory E. Caplinger, DBA, International Institute of Medical Science hospital and clinics, was indicted in the eastern district of Pennsylvania on 39 counts of wire fraud. Caplinger had falsely represented himself to be a British and U.S. trained physician with a doctor of science degree who was board certified in internal medicine, immunology and oncology. Caplinger used these false credentials and other misrepresentations to convince seriously ill patients to travel from the United States and Canada to the Dominican Republic for treatment.
He convinced patients to travel to the Dominican Republic to participate in his immunological protocol at his clinic which used an [sic] medication called "Immustim." Caplinger claimed that "Immustim" was a medication effective in the treatment of cancer, HIV/Aids, Epstein-barr virus, hepatitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, allergies and other immunological dysfunctions. Caplinger received in excess of $500,000 from patients and approximately $2,000,000 from investors he conned into providing him funding for his "clinic".
Caplinger fled the country on the seventh day of his trial and eventually turned himself in to authorities in the Dominican Republic. Investigation in this matter also determined that Caplinger was not a doctor and had been sited for practicing medicine without a license in 1984 in Florida. He also plead guilty to charges of practicing medicine without a license in the state of North Carolina in 1988. In 1993 he plead guilty to theft charges in Florida for taking money from the elderly after promising to treat patients for Alzheimer's disease. Caplinger is awaiting sentencing and could receive 195 years in jail and a fine of $9.75 million.
