Pennsylvania garment wholesaler Notations, Inc. agreed to pay $1 million to settle charges of violating the False Claims Act by repeatedly ignoring warning signs that its business partners, Yingshun Garments Inc., Import Global Designs Inc., and Olgrem LLC, which imported garments from China, were engaged in a fraudulent double-invoicing scheme to underpay customs duties owed on the imported garments they sold to Notations.  The allegations originated in a whistleblower lawsuit filed under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act.  The whistleblower, Xing Wei, will receive an award from the proceeds of the government’s recovery.  DOJ (SDNY)
