This guy gets involved with government contracting, and subsequently finds himself running the contract to warehouse and transportable the food for all the Soldiers in Iraq, 6 months before the war.
He's the Consultant to a rag tag Kuwaiti organization (The Warehouse) with like one Cold Storage space out of a million Dry Hot storage spaces. They hire a ton of overpaid Navy guys to do the Job, and subcontract everything else.
A lot goes on, (170 Trucks a day shipping into Iraq during war, setting up operations in Turkey Jordan, and Kuwait and delivering from all three). Then the Afghan contract, and low and behold, we win that too!!! Now it's busy!
Then the company gets greedy....
They (The Warehouse) formulate a way to ship cheaper Produce from Turkey, and say it was from Kuwait, tripling their sell price for those invoices. amongst ten or twenty other things.
They ask the consultant, If we did this, would we get caught, or better yet, how long till we get caught?
Guy says, Don't try that, you could blow your whole contract, and isn't 2.1 Billion a year enough for you?
Well enough said...: they do it anyways, The consultant gets wind of this, and goes to one of the trusted Kuwaiti Partners.
They get together and form a whistleblower case and at the next SYSCO FOOD show in Ocean City, they go get Lawyers.
They say what they had to say, they proved without a doubt the government was getting ripped off for 600 Million a year.
Hoping for a 1 or 2 percent reward, as the whistleblower program allows.
Timing was good the Consultant thought. Bush was out Obama in, He thought for sure Pres. Obama could blame Pres. Bush.
Well company bribes a judge or two and the Federal Court of Atlanta lets the case disappear in some Judges desk, under seal for ten years.
So what happens, the consultant gets fired, career ruined, and moves to Macedonia to Hide from the world.
