Feds: Dallas Military Contractor Falsified Bills

A Dallas company that has received millions of dollars in U.S. military contracts has agreed to pay $750,000 to settle allegations it charged taxpayers for work it never did, according to court records.

Crash Rescue Equipment Service, Inc. fraudulently billed the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Marine Corps for overhauling emergency vehicles, according to a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Attorney’s office.

Company attorney Jim King said new owners bought CRES in 2007, discovered the work had not been properly done. and reported it to the government.

"We didn't hide anything," he said. "We said, 'We need to make amends' and we did."

Ought to be banned forever from business with the government, new owners or not. Otherwise, they wash themselves clean with a widow's mite every once in a while.
