DOJ's Oversight Failures Enable Rampant Fraud, Whistleblower Reveals

Whistleblower Sarah Feinberg, who exposed overbilling practices at consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, believes that the Justice Department's settlement of $377 million with the firm is insufficient and that government contractors are still incentivized to defraud the government due to the department's weakness. Feinberg claims that she identified over $250 million of overbilling by Booz Allen, estimating the total scope of the fraud to be at least $500 million. She argues that the settlement represents an interest-free loan rather than a penalty for the fraud. The Justice Department defends the settlement as the largest in history and states that it will continue to be vigilant in similar cases. Booz Allen declined to address Feinberg's new allegations.
