The United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts has moved to dismiss all charges against SpineFrontier Inc., marking a pivotal moment in the legal proceedings involving the company and its founder, Dr. Kingsley R. Chin. This development follows the earlier dismissal of money laundering charges and the resolution of related civil cases through financial settlements.


In the case United States v. Kingsley R. Chin, Aditya Humad, and SpineFrontier, Inc. (No. 1:21-cr-10256-IT), the court filing on January 17, 2025 in the court docket ( View Here), stated:


"Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 48(a), the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts hereby moves to dismiss: (i) Counts 6 and 7 of the Indictment...against defendants Kingsley R. Chin and Aditya Humad; and (ii) Counts 1 through 7 (all counts) of the Indictment in this case against defendant SpineFrontier, Inc."


This decision represents significant progress, with the case now narrowed substantially. Dr. Chin expressed optimism, stating, “We acknowledge this decision as an important step forward and remain committed to addressing the remaining matters constructively.”


Lessons for Physicians and Investors

This case underscores the need for proactive compliance and regulatory diligence. Dr. Chin has implemented comprehensive compliance measures at KIC Ventures, his current firm, emphasizing transparency and risk mitigation to uphold the highest standards in developing spine surgery technologies.


Dr. Chin remarked, “The dismissal of these charges removes a major obstacle, allowing SpineFrontier to move forward with renewed focus. We remain grateful for the unwavering support from stakeholders throughout this journey.”
