Supply Scam

When it comes to allegations of procurement fraud, you hear a lot about the Boeings, Haliburtons and other big-name firms. Most of the real fraud, though is much more mundane, and involves stuff like paying an INS official a $20,000 bribe to funnel information about supply contracts to a company set up for the purpose of scamming federal dollars. That's what Hugo and Melissa Flores of San Benito, Texas, did, and now they're going to prison.
