The Justice Department charged six individuals with defrauding government agencies, including the defense and intelligence community, through bidding, kickback, and bribery schemes. Among those charged are Victor Marquez, Antwann C.K. Rawls, and Scott Reefe for rigging bids and inflating contract payments. Breal Madison Jr. also faces charges for defrauding his employer and government agencies. Brandon Scott Glisson and Lawrence Eady were charged for their involvement in Madison’s scheme.
Marquez and his accomplices coordinated bids to undermine competition and increase their returns. Madison and his co-conspirators funneled stolen funds to shell companies. Rubrik, a cloud cybersecurity firm, was served with a grand jury subpoena related to a former employee’s potential violations of federal law. The Antitrust Division and its partners are committed to holding accountable those who subvert competition and siphon taxpayer funds. Officials from various agencies are committed to stopping fraud schemes in the defense and intelligence community.
