$100 Billion Federal Contracting Scam

James O’Keefe Uncovers New Massive Fraud

A sweeping undercover investigation has ignited controversy across the federal contracting world after journalist James O’Keefe released footage allegedly exposing a billion-dollar fraud within the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program.

The video, published Monday by O’Keefe Media Group and already viewed more than 2.3 million times, features Melayne Cromwell, a contract manager for ATI Government Solutions, describing how her firm uses its minority-owned status to secure lucrative no-bid contracts before passing most of the work to outside firms.

“I tell you pass-throughs are a great thing!” Cromwell says in the footage, adding that ATI completes only about 20 percent of each project — far below the 51 percent threshold required by federal rules.

There's so much waste in this government and then we wonder why we're like almost 40 trillion dollars in debt but we keep giving millions and billions to other countries that we don't even have does it make any sense fiscally for anyone? Where is the fiscal responsibility that our elected officials are supposed to uphold to be fiduciaries? It really makes you wonder very sad for our country all the debt we have what a dangerous really causes all of us in our future?!

Many of our foreign aid is in loans--Some modern loans, like those to Ukraine under the Lend-Lease Act, may have repayment terms that are deferred for an indefinite period. We help some countries but there is a benefit to the U.S.
