The owner of an Orlando-based construction company faces up to 60 years in prison for workers’-compensation fraud involving underreporting the firm’s payroll by more than $6 million, the state Dept. of Financial Services reported recently.
Former senior vice presidents of engineer Louis Berger and now defunct Birdsall Services Group, were sentenced earlier this month in New Jersey courts related to their roles in unrelated bribe schemes of contracting officials.
Howard Birdsall, who, as founder and former CEO of now-defunct Birdsall Services Group, presided over a $1-
million scheme in New Jersey that illegally funneled political donations through employees, was sentenced on April 22 to four years in state prison.
