“After digging into his co-workers’ allegations, Percival found that USIS was pretending to do its job in order to meet revenue targets. The more applicants they vetted and approved, the more they were paid. OPM at one point appears to have suspected USIS of cutting corners, because one of the agency’s staffers sent a letter to the company in 2011 asking how just four investigators could complete 13,000 reports in a single week.”
Thank you for posting this. It is good information to have even though I’m sure my hair grayed even more while perusing it.
I just wish more was available. Most has been scrubbed.
I’ve never hear in any of the interviews I’ve listened to, for Blake to make the jump to the type of characters being approved for hire, or the objective to use this venue to stage an overthrow. But I believe that is exactly what the purpose was. The financial incentive was merely a bonus.
