Ahhhhh...that private sector honesty....
US contractor investigated for overcharging
By BRETT J. BLACKLEDGE and RICHARD LARDNER The Associated Press Saturday, August 14, 2010; 1:18 PM WASHINGTON -- Federal prosecutors are investigating whether a U.S. contractor managing more than $1 billion in reconstruction contracts in Afghanistan overcharged the government. Prosecutors acknowledged in a court filing last week that their criminal and civil investigations focus on allegations that the Louis Berger Group submitted inflated invoices to the U.S. Agency for International Development, which oversees international development projects. The revelation came in court filings related to a Louis Berger executive's federal lawsuit attempting to block efforts to keep his stock holdings in escrow while the investigations continue. Louis Berger, based in Morristown, N.J., is a major player in U.S.-funded reconstruction projects in Iraq and Afghanistan. - - - The real question is, are there *any* honest contractors? -- I'm the real Harry, and I post from a Mac, as virtually everyone knows. If a post is attributed to me, and it isn't from a Mac, it's from an ID spoofer who hasn't the balls to post with his own ID. |
