Military housing provider Balfour Beatty Communities LLC will pay over $65 million and plead guilty to fraud charges arising from their scheme to secure incentive payments on contracts by submitting falsified information claiming to have met performance objectives when, in fact, they had not met those objectives. BBC employees altered or manipulated data in property management software regarding property maintenance and destroyed and falsified resident comment cards. The settlement agreement and plea agreement includes a $33.6 million criminal fine, over $31.8 million in restitution, and $35.2 million to resolve civil liability under the False Claims Act. BBC will be on probation for three years and be subject to independent compliance monitoring. DOJ; USAO SD GA; USAO WD OK
