The Supreme Court invalidated the Dixon Yates claim for compensation after canceling a West Memphis Arkansas steam plant contract. It drew a fine line between actual and possible conflict of interest, ruling Wenzell could not recover two million dollars since the profit risk lay with Mississippi Valley Generating Company, not his firm. The decision signals that government representation must avoid even indirect personal profit, affecting how private experts advise on public projects.
