Talk about scum of the earth stealing 1.8 billion in relief funding, a number of people question this deal when it was first announced because the company only had two full time employees.
Topline : A top FEMA official was arrested Tuesday after being indicted for taking bribes from the president of an Oklahoma-based energy company—who was also arrested—in exchange for a contract to rebuild Puerto Rico’s power grid after Hurricane Maria struck the island in 2017
Yep, it seemed corrupt from the start because the guy at the time basically had no assets to use to do the repairs and construction. He basically built the company off of this deal.
Never should have even been considered for a job that massive with no history or resources.
That was Whitefish. Had Wapo not reported on them early causing them to lose their contract they’d probably have been woken up by early morning knocks today too.
This tiny energy company has only two full-time employees, and surprised many when it received a $300 million no-bid contract to help rebuild Puerto Rico’s electrical grid. Whitefish has never worked on a project of this size.
Unless Whitefish was the legit contractor all around, had a tenuous link to zinke, and when they lost the contract these far more unscrupulous actors moved in.
