Original Note:
The fraud dates back to 2013, was discovered internally by USAID in 2023. The Justice Department’s press release corroborates this by noting that the investigation led to the guilty pleas announced in June 2025. This is not the result of DOGE. https://www.washingtontechnology.com/companies/2025/06/former-usaid-official-three-contractors-plead-guilty-550m-bribery-scheme/406065/
