A settlement has been reached to resolve False Claims Act allegations against Coast Produce Company.
The whistleblowers' share of the settlement will be $920,000.
The allegations arose from a lawsuit, which was filed in 2008 and claimed that Coast Produce overcharged the military on the delivered prices by inflating quotes for produce, charging the DoD more than it paid for bananas and pineapples under long-term fixed-price supply contracts and submitting high quotes to the DoD from suppliers that Coast Produce did not buy from.
