$18.1 Million Settlement reached in Whistleblower case with Calnet Inc

Settlement Amount: 
$18,100,000

A settlement has been reached in a whistleblower class action lawsuit brought against Calnet Inc who is accused of submitting false claims to the Department of Defense.

The whistleblower's portion of the settlement will be $2,669,724.

The initial whistleblower case was filed in August 2009.  The government's complaint alleged that Calnet overstated its provisional indirect or overhead rates on contracts and thus submitted inflated claims for payment to the United States. This relates to three contracts under which the company supported the United States war effort by providing translation and linguist services at Guantanamo Bay and several other facilities beginning in 2005. Calnet was a subcontractor on one of the contracts, and the prime contractor on the other two contracts.
