前Intellipeak exec Philip Flores因贿赂一名海军官员在无投标合同中获取1 600万美元而被判处48个月徒刑。 Former Intellipeak exec Philip Flores sentenced to 48 months for bribing a Navy official to secure $16M in no-bid contracts.

Philip Flores,前国防承包商Intellipeak Solutions总裁,因涉及海军信息战中心前雇员James Soriano的贿赂和欺诈被判处48个月的联邦徒刑。 Philip Flores, former president of defense contractor Intellipeak Solutions, was sentenced to 48 months in federal prison for bribery and fraud involving former Naval Information Warfare Center employee James Soriano. Flores向Soriano提供了18 000多美元的礼品,包括优等体育奖券和昂贵的膳食,以换取操纵SBA的8(a)计划,为Intellipeak签订无价合同。 Flores provided Soriano with over $18,000 in gifts, including premium sports tickets and expensive meals, in exchange for manipulating the SBA’s 8(a) program to secure no-bid contracts for Intellipeak. 尽管公司将大部分工作分包给非8(a)公司, Soriano伪造评价,核准夸大发票,并帮助起草合同语言,以有利于Intellipeak公司。 Soriano falsified evaluations, approved inflated invoices, and helped draft contract language to favor Intellipeak despite the company subcontracting most work to non-8(a) firms. Flores还向其他承包商收取6%至8%的独家合同费,这些合同已向政府开具账单。 Flores also charged other contractors 6% to 8% fees for access to sole-source contracts, which were billed to the government. 26项合同共付款1 600万美元以上,估计利润为550 000美元至150万美元。 Over $16 million in payments were made across 26 contracts, with estimated profits of $550,000 to $1.5 million. 这不是弗洛雷斯第一次被判定犯有欺诈罪;他于2022年因类似的不当行为被判刑。 This was not Flores’s first fraud conviction; in 2022, he was sentenced for similar misconduct. 检察官强调,这种腐败会破坏国家安全和纳税人的信任,而参与腐败的人将面临严重后果。 Prosecutors stressed that such corruption undermines national security and taxpayer trust, and those who engage in it will face serious consequences.
