Electronic Supplies\u201d (GES).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv3676965923MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">From March 2016 to June 2022, Youabian purchased used transducers, which are medical devices used to tighten the skin of dermatology patients by delivering ultrasound energy to a patient\u2019s skin. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv3676965923MsoNormal\"

style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">After this number is reached, the devices are considered depleted and should be disposed of in accordance with health code regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv3676965923MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">Through GES, Youabian purchased depleted transducers for nominal sums,

Youabian used names of fabricated Thermagen employees in correspondences with victim providers and used out-of-state commercial mailboxes for Thermagen\u2019s return of address on shipments, which he sent through the U.S. mail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv3676965923MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">For example, in February 2020, Youabian, through

class=\"yiv3676965923MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">Youabian then shipped the device \u2013 which contained a fake serial number \u2013 from Los Angeles to

patients, through the mail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv3676965923MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">He then transferred his ill-gotten gains to bank account
