"Massachusetts Contractors Fined Under False Claims Act
Massachusetts Electric Construction Co. (MEC) and J.F. White Contracting Co. have recently been ordered to pay $25 million for being in violation of the False Claims Act. The whistleblower who accused the companies of gouging Amtrak on a project to electrify Amtrak's rail corridor between Boston and New Haven, Conn. will be paid $4 million of the fine. MEC, with 550 employees and $120 million in local work last year, is one of the two largest electrical contractors in Massachusetts."
This could open some eyes - contractors and whistle blowers alike!!!
