Self-titled “Rehab Mogul” Christopher Bathum will stand trial on charges of fraudulently billing companies $176 million, one of the largest criminal cases against an addiction facility in state history, a judge ruled Tuesday.

Bathum, 55, operated more than a dozen homes in Los Angeles and Orange counties as well as in Colorado. His addiction homes were targeted last year in a massive law enforcement investigation involving the California Department of Insurance and investigators from the Los Angeles County and Orange County prosecutor’s offices. Bathum and Wallace were arrested at their homes during a morning raid in November.
