GOTCHA "BIG GAMERS".
MOTIVE AND OPPORTUNITY - Here is the "no-holds-barred" answer and summary of why government agencies play the "big shell game" and why the Treasury Department and Congress has to stop it. Don't be misled by the Government's Press Release and their touted Product Improvement Programs. Many of these PIP's are usually simply PR campaigns to provide media damage control and to create a contract vehicle to pay the manufacturere to fix their defects at taxpayer expense and do public relations damage control.
GOTCHA FBI.
You say you can't find the fraud, then you say there is no fraud, and then you destroy the original disclosure files documenting the fraud. Then you claim that you misfiled the disclosure files. Then you admit that the FBI policy violates the law... but you'll check into it. I copied the documents and recorded our telephone calls. Which errors are true and what the hell are you doing about the fraud in the mean time?
GOTCHA GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
You said cash payments for future damages" wasn't part of the fraud case, but your document clearly states and brags that you bartered it for a "Power-By-The-Hour" contract that was, in your own words, "the meat of the settlement..." for the Government. Then you admit that you "specifically requested this as a part of any settlement". Your weak claims forced you to use DOJ and "the little game" and then deny it. It certainly makes your letters saying "the majority of the recovery wasn't related" appear to be a flat lie. Before you deny it, just admit that the courts have caught the DOJ doing this to help its client, the defrauded agency, over and over again. Finally, you paid the defendant $45,000,000.00 to fix his own defects or as you say "the very expensive technical modifications that should mature the engine".
GOTCHA MAIN JUSTICE (DOJ).
You tell another District Court in Washington, D.C., that you aren't part of a case until you intervened in ours on July, 10, 1990, but your client's documents says he "worked closely with trial attorneys from the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice" earlier the November 3, 1989. Your Civil Division attorney lied to the public, courts, and Congress, and Treasury; then you helped cover-up dollars given the agencies which have not been reallocated to them by Congress. You repeat this behavior and the courts have caught you over and over. How much money is recovered as "proceeds of the action or settlement of the claim"? How much future work, forfeitures, waived administrative claims, and free work are secretly bartered between the DOJ and defendents? You neither itemized and disclosed to the court nor delivered to the "general account" of the Treasury the majority of the recoveries. Do your internal, annual reports of recovery (including both defense industry and medical fraud recoveries) even come close to matching? Where does the "DOJ-defendent-agency-bartered alternate remedies" get reported?
GOTCHA DISTRICT AND APPEALS COURTS.
Biased Judges don't recluse themselves and biased District Courts don't publish cases that let the public know about Government shenanigans.
Many of you Federal judges have repeatedly and affirmatively decided that these qui tam fraud lawsuits, involving billions of the public's tax dollars, are definitely not "opinions that may in any way interest persons other than the parties to a case. Otherwise, it seems that your own rules would definitely require them to be published (and I think they do). The federal district judges, as members of each judicial panel, state that to publish them "
imposes needless expense on the public and burdens on the legal profession. You make the lawyers file electronically and yet you can't make this available to the general public that pays those taxes? You must presuppose that the public loss of millions of public fisc tax dollars are not of significant public interest, nor is the shady behavior of the government in handling these cases a factual or legal issue of significant public interest. Also each case's history must not explain, criticize, or review the history of existing or decisional law or, by their own rules, it would be published.

GOTCHA CONGRESS AND TREASURY DEPARTMENTS.
