I hope this alerts all bu$ine$$es getting rich off tyranny that this government will hang you out to dry when it is politically and legally expedient for them.
They demand your loyalty and offer none in return.
"US accuses firm that vetted Snowden of fraud" by Pete Yost | Associated Press, January 24, 2014
WASHINGTON — The company that handled a background check on National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden allegedly defrauded the government by submitting at least 665,000 investigations that had not been properly completed, and then tried to cover it up when the government suspected what was going on….
Wow, WHAT a SWITCH THERE, huh?
Usually it is the PUBLIC SUSPECTING SOMETHING and GOVERNMENT that tries to COVER UP!
The government said that the company, US Investigations Services Inc., engaged in a practice known inside the company as ‘‘dumping’’ or ‘‘flushing.’’ It involved releasing uncompleted background cases to the government and representing them as complete in order to increase revenue and profit.
Hey, there is more money than you can dream be made in the world of $ecurity and $urveillance.
The government paid the company $11.7 million in performance awards from 2008 to 2010, according to the Justice Department court filing.
Look at them pa$$ out the LOOT in this age of parti$an$hip that doesn't allow fuel aid, food stamps, or unemployment checks to clear!
The shame is it is NO LONGER a SURPRISE! This government has been so corrupted by corporations it is unsalvageable.
US Investigations senior management ‘‘was fully aware of and, in fact, directed the dumping practices,’’ the government complaint said.
Just as we are fully aware that western intelligence agencies create, fund, and direct "terrorists."
Beginning in March 2008, US Investigations’s president and chief executive established revenue goals for the company. US Investigations’s chief financial officer determined how many cases needed to be reviewed or dumped to meet those goals, the complaint added.
The number of cases that needed to be reviewed or dumped to meet revenue goals was conveyed to the firm’s vice president of field operations and to the president of investigative service division, the complaint said.
According to one internal company document, a US Investigations employee said, ‘‘They will dump cases when word comes from above, such as from’’ the president of the investigative service division and the president and chief executive.
According to the complaint, US Investigations would dump reports of investigations knowing that there could potentially be quality issues associated with those reports.
The background investigations that were dumped spanned most government agencies — including the Justice Department, the Department of Homeland Security, the Defense Department, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Transportation Department, and the Treasury Department.
That, that, that's just great!
F***ing god-damned government is so worried about you and whether you scratch your ass at noon, and yet it has likely been infiltrated by jwho knows?
(Well, NSA would, but….)
The background investigations involved checks of applicants’ credit histories, legal records, and checks of government agency files such as FBI files and fingerprint records. The investigations also included interviews of employers and co-workers and others associated with the subject of the investigation.
I sure hope they don't step on anything while performing their checks.
The company is a contractor for the federal Office of Personnel Management, which is responsible for performing background investigations of current or prospective federal employees and contractors.
US Investigations concealed its dumping practices from the Office of Personnel Management, according to the government’s court papers.
In April 2011, the Office of Personnel Management raised concerns with US Investigations after tests showed that a large number of investigation reports were identified as complete when computer metadata revealed that the reports had never been opened by a reviewer.
Yes, "security firms," the NSA is also WATCHING EVERYTHING YOU DO just as they are the rest of us all!
In a response to the federal agency, US Investigations falsely attributed the problems to a variety of software issues, said the Justice Department filing.
Hey, that excuse worked for Obummercare and the state unemployment $y$tem!
In addition, US Investigations ensured that all dumping practices stopped when Office of Personnel Management was on site conducting audits — and then resumed after federal auditors were gone, the government alleged.
‘‘Most of the September miss should ‘flush’ in October,’’ an e-mail from US Investigations chief financial officer said to the vice president of the investigative service division.
Initially, the Justice Department said, US Investigations would dump cases manually. Later, it began using a software that enabled it to identify a large number of background investigations, quickly make an electronic ‘‘Review Complete’’ notation and then give the cases to the government.
Must have had a NSA trap door in it.
Dumping, the Justice Department said, occurred daily.
Just like me and the newspaper.
--more--"
Were I a juror my motto would be "If the government is shit you must acquit" and nullify.
Time to log out.
