Judge sides with firm over false statement claims
Judge Melloy dismissed most allegations that Vector lied in its contract statements and found the government did not show enough facts to prove false claims or that Vector acted knowingly. Four years ago Vector pleaded guilty to falsifying a government contract with a Parsons Kansas ammunition plant, paying 130000 damages and a 10000 fine. The Army then barred Vector from bidding on government projects for two years.
