In the District of Maryland, four defendants, including an IT contractor and a government official, pleaded guilty to IT procurement fraud costing taxpayers over $1.3 million.
Prosecutors claimed that the bribery scheme, involving significant payments from contractor Brandon Scott Glisson to official Lawrence Eady, resulted in artificially inflated prices for IT products.
Investigators uncovered that from 2018 to May 2019, defendants exploited confidential information to rig bids, securing IT contracts with inflated, non-competitive prices.
The ongoing Justice Department investigation into IT procurement misconduct highlights the involvement of multiple individuals in manipulating federal contracts to benefit their companies.
