Acting US Attorney Ed Martin clawed back $1 million from a consulting firm that overbilled USAID by inflating its employee salary costs.
This is one of the reasons why the Democrats and RINOs are stonewalling his confirmation.
Per the US Attorney’s Office of DC:
Stax Inc., a private consulting based in Boston, Massachusetts, has agreed to pay $1 million to resolve allegations it overbilled the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in claims for salary reimbursement in the implementation of the U.S. Government funded Sri Lanka@100 project.
This matter came to the U.S. Attorney’s Office from the USAID Office of the Inspector General which found that Stax overbilled USAID more than $850,000 by inflating its employee salary costs.
During an administrative audit, it was discovered that Stax put hidden profit in its proposed salary for its employees. This hidden profit violated the terms of the cooperative agreement entered into by USAID, and further was in direct contradiction to expressed statements to Stax informing them that they were not to get any profit from this cooperative agreement.
During the investigation, Stax was bought out by another company that immediately began to cooperate with the investigation and instituted remedial measures. The new company fired the official who directed that the profit be hidden in the salaries, revamped Stax’s compliance procedures, and placed new personnel with extensive compliance experience into leadership positions. As a result of the earned cooperation credit, the parties agreed to settle for 1.2 times the single damages for a settlement total of $1 million.
Ed Martin is currently the Acting US Attorney for DC and Trump recently announced he nominated him for a permanent position as one of the country’s top cops.
If Ed Martin is not confirmed by May 20, federal court in DC will appoint an interim US Attorney until he is confirmed. There is currently no vote scheduled to confirm Ed Martin. ... MORE

P
The IG found $850,000 in fraud and Stax agreed to pay $1,00,000?
Sounds like the IG didn’t find all of the fraud.
How on earth we allowed the entirety of our government to be stolen by pimps, whores, child molesters and thieves.
No doubt the DC Federal Court will appoint an "un-biased" Constitution-conscious FAIR and IMPARTIAL Judge.
“”This matter came to the U.S. Attorney’s Office from the USAID Office of the Inspector General which found that Stax overbilled USAID more than $850,000 by inflating its employee salary costs.””
YEP - another IG on the ball...I’ve always wondered what they are doing while all the pillaging is going on...always a day late and a LOT of dollars short!
a million here, a million there, ... soon we’re talkin’ about a billion...
That alone made his salary worthwhile, something that all federal employees should keep in mind, be thorough in their work and seek ways to make their being employed pay for itself by the fruits of their labor, be productive.
Why, oh why, were our tax dollars going to support Sri Lanka@100 in the first place? Here’s what I found doing an Internet search about this organization.
…..
“With an audacious goal to play a small but impactful role in helping Sri Lanka become a high-income country by 2048, Sri Lanka@100 is deep diving into the country’s SME sector to help accelerate growth. The Sri Lanka@100 business development platform, implemented by global management consulting firm, Stax Inc, is one of such initiatives …
Maybe. Maybe the CEO did not want a cellmate named Bubba……
“..How on earth we allowed the entirety of our government to be stolen by pimps, whores, child molesters and thieves...”
Evil,, slick-talking communist/democrats that promised the low-IQ gimmedats the entire country for starters. And then, a bunch of do-nothing RINO pigs that love to feed at the taxpayer-funded feed trough not wanting to upset the trough.
The uniparty, RINO, controlled opposition is responsible for this.
We don’t matter.
Slap on the wrist.
If any of us got caught stealing $850,000 from government, there would be worse punishment than returning the loot plus 18%. This was probably not an isolated incident, so they likely came out ahead.
***********
This statement, while accurate, is also somewhat misleading. Non-profits profit in other ways. Just sayin.
Our government was stolen by crooks because no one told us, or asked our opinion about it.
We don’t matter.
Those days are over.
You describe the Biden crime family exactly. Hunters resume page 2.
Biden being the dementia carcass installed by the ‘Blob’ and the blobs paid off associates. He was nothing more than Obama’s oven mitt being singed daily in the fire, used up and later tossed.
All this was done not only for immediate gain for the corrupt leaders, politicians and judges, while provding the traitorous Marxists the opportunity to destroy the power of the West and cause it to break and collapse.
Where they could then ‘build back better’ replacing it with their WEF Communist Utopia using the totalitarian China model.
They are working right now, today, this moment to install these kinds of ‘Leaders’ into Western nations to surround the USA to impede us at every turn. While in the USA daily wargaming law-fare tactics with corrupt activist paid off Judges to slow down and hinder and stop President Trump and his administration.
The USA is the strongman of the house that has to be bound for them to succeed.
This is not a battle against flesh and blood.
Jesus said this kind only comes out with much prayer and fasting.
We need this guy. Thom Tillis is blocking him.
bread and circuses work pretty good ...
