Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] The FCA Beyond Healthcare – New Military Spending
As of December 2022, the Council of Foreign Relations reports that the United States of America has sent 12.7 billion worth of equipment and weapons to Ukraine to aid in their efforts to repel the invasion by Russia. All those munitions were either pulled from existing military stockpiles, in which case they will need to be replaced, or were manufactured expressly to be sent to Ukraine. While this is a fraction of the roughly 900 billion spent on health care it represents a significant increase in government spending on military. Those of us that have been doing the work know greed often fuels fraud, and fraud follows money. In the coming years as the Federal Government increases its military spending our Bar can expect to see more cases brought by relators against government military contractors, which will in turn create more work for the defense bar defending these cases.
This panel consist of an experienced Department of Defense OIG Investigator, lawyers representing the Defense, Relator and the Government. The moderator is a former United States Attorney. The panel is certain to provide a witty, insightful, informative, fun discussion of an area of false claims that is certain to see growth in the years ahead.
