Pentagon overpaid billionaire oil tycoon by up to $200 million
A Pentagon audit has revealed that the federal government overpaid a billionaire oilman up to $200million.
It also found that three contracts the Florida businessman won were awarded under conditions that effectively eliminated the other bidders.
Sargeant, a once prominent Republican donor, first faced scrutiny over his defence work in October 2008, when he was accused in a congressional probe of using his close relationship with Jordan’s royal family to secure exclusive rights over supply routes to U.S. bases in western Iraq.
There is more to this story.
"The audit found that the prices paid to Sargeant were not reasonable because 'no one else could transport the fuel through Jordan'."
Uhhh... so because he has a contact... and is the only one allowed to transport fuel through Jordan... he should pay back the government?
lol...
Sounds like a conspiracy theory. Why can't we accept the status quo? Let us break white bread with the council of elders.
