Clifton Burch and Peter McKean have been found guilty by a jury for conspiring to submit fraudulently rigged bids for construction at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which is paid for and overseen by the Department of Energy.  Burch and McKean agreed to and did submit bids that were not genuine, but were intended to be higher than a $5.7 million bid submitted to the DOE by a “developer” who would then pay them.  The “developer” was, in fact, an undercover agent.  USAO ND Cal
