A United States District court grand jury indicted Army Corps of Engineers program manager (Defendant A) and program director (Defendant B) charging they had conspired since 2007 with an official of an Alaskan Native-owned small business to funnel more than $50 million in payments to a subcontractor. The business is the prime contractor of an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity Army Corps of Engineers contract for information technology infrastructure and services. About $25 million in fraudulent expenses were built into the invoices, and payments on those expenses went to Defendant A, Defendant B, Defendant A’s son and director of the small business. The indictment also charged that the men devised a similar scheme for a future IT contract worth up to $800 million by tailoring the statement of objectives and statement of work to favor the subcontractor and to plant certain Army Corps of Engineers employees who would favor the subcontractor on the selection board. All four men were indicted on one count of conspiracy to commit bribery and wire fraud as well as one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Defendant A and Defendant B also were indicted on one count of receipt of a bribe by a public official also B was indicted on one count of unlawful kickbacks.

Unit 6 [CJ510: Specialized Statutes and Complex Investigations] CJ510 Unit 6 Assignment Scenario 2: Embezzlement After an extensive investigation, Valley Lake Schools’ bank manager faces multiple fraud charges for stealing money from customer accounts since June 2012. It all became known when two victims produced documented proof of the alleged fraud to security department at the Valley Lake Schools’ Federal Credit Union. The victims also provided sworn affidavits that said they did not withdraw the money in question from their accounts, nor did they authorize anyone else to do so. An official investigation launched after the security department contacted Sheriff's detectives. Their analysis revealed that illegal withdrawals were made from multiple accounts belonging to both victims. Surveillance video showed that neither victim went to the branch on the dates of the questionable transactions. On June 18, detectives met with the branch's manager, who reportedly admitted her involvement in the fraud in order to feed her prescription drug habit. After the interview, one of the detectives learned that she had just made a fraudulent withdraw of $1,000 just before he interviewed her. During a search of her car in the parking lot, they found $650 of those dollars inside. She told them she had used the missing $350 to buy pills earlier that day. She was arrested and charged with organized 2nd degree fraud and possession of oxycodone. Sheriff's officials are still investigating and say there may be other victims. So far, detectives have linked over $45,000 in fraudulent withdrawals involving the two victims. Unit 6 Assignment Scenarios: Read Scenario 1: Public Corruption and Scenario 2: Embezzlement.

The four people were arrested for as having the allegations of bribery. The people were held accountable despite having being associated with law two army cops along with other two still were indicted for conspiracy relating to the bribery.
