Day: May 11, 2020

In the Episode, I am joined by Joel Androphy, co-founder at Berg & Androphy. Joel is well-known literally across the country as a white-collar defense lawyer and plaintiff’s counsel in high-profile False Claims Act litigation. With the ongoing Trump Administration’s bailouts and stimulus packages, there will be great temptations for fraud. There have already been several high-profile cases of companies returning bailout monies to which they were not entitled. In this podcast we consider the role of the FCA in helping the US government fight fraud, waste and abuse.
Some of the highlights include: 

• Androphy believes the coronavirus bailout will cause great amount of fraud.
• What is the role of the FCA in fighting government fraud, waste and abuse?
• Why does Androphy believe that citizens who bring FCA cases are doing civic duty?
• What are the different types of fraud perpetrated in government contracting?
• Why is Androphy on a mission to have the federal bailout dollars benefit the American worker and not the American fraudster.
