United States Attorney David Metcalf has announced a superseding indictment against three individuals from Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Mary Blakley, also known by several aliases including “Marye Blakley” and “Rosemary Davis,” and Fred Blakley, known as “Fred Blakely” or “Floyd Blakely,” are charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, among other charges. A third individual, Janmarie Lanzo, is also charged with conspiracy to violate the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
The indictment alleges that Mary and Fred Blakley operated medical clinics across the United States, charging clients approximately $300 for “full body scans” using ultrasound machines. These scans were claimed to diagnose various diseases, including cancer. Janmarie Lanzo was associated with the clinics and sold products recommended by Mary Blakley based on scan results.
According to the indictment, the defendants falsely marketed their services using a “smart chip technology” allegedly invented by Mary Blakley. They prescribed supplements and veterinary products as treatments for humans based on these scans. The products included Aetheion cream and fenbendazole, a veterinary antiparasitic drug.
To disguise their activities, the defendants allegedly claimed they were conducting research rather than providing services. They also used coded language and disguised their clinics under different organizational guises while requiring clients to sign confidentiality agreements.
If convicted, Mary and Fred Blakley could face up to 165 years in prison each. Janmarie Lanzo faces a potential sentence of five years if convicted.
The investigation was conducted by the FBI and the FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations. Assistant United States Attorneys Ruth Mandelbaum and Paul G. Shapiro are prosecuting the case.
It is important to note that all charges in an indictment are accusations until proven otherwise in court.
