After mediation failed, a federal whistle blower lawsuit over alleged fraud against two contractors, which also targets sureties and a surety bond producer, is moving forward. The parties have asked a U.S. district court judge in Washington, D.C. to rule on outstanding motions in preparation for a possible trial.
The whistleblower, Andrew Scollick, and the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia in 2014 accused company owners in a civil lawsuit of fraud related to their eligibility for work under U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) programs.
