An alarming story of greed, negligence, and a lack of government oversight.

SIGAR Audit-11-15 Contract Performance and Oversight / Defense Base Act Insurance
SIGAR audited a pilot program in which CNA was contracted to provide DBA Insurance for US Army Corps of Engineers contracts.
So this $58.5 million was overcharged in a very small portion of the DBA business that CNA carries.
Basically CNA overcharged, didn’t reimburse USACE and contractors for labor charges that turned out not to be justified, did not have proper paperwork in place and accounting procedures to allow DCAA to be able to look at their books and determine who was owed what.
CNA also commingled funds meant to be segregated for different contracts, lumping them all into one account.
The workers’ compensation program is so riddled with problems as a result of using a third-party insurer that the inspector general’s office suggests it may be worthwhile to dump the insurer altogether, the audit reads.

That won’t be the only people CNA owe’s. Just watch, when the indictments come down they are going to be falling like domino’s. And if their lawyers, Levy and Thomas and all their little cronies think they are going to escape the indictments.. they are going to have a rude surprise. Their lawyers need to find a nice warm non extradition country to attempt to hide in. O’ Surprised Mr. Levy. and Mr. Thomas.. All those areas are Special Operations stomping grounds.. so you wont be able to hide there… O gosh.. maybe you should take a trip to Boston and ask Whitey Bulger .. where to go and hide..

there is a guy called Ralph Loberbaum or something like that, a DBA lawyer with a good record not too far from where you live.
google him and see what he says, the office is on the coast of Georgia.
