Defense contractor Crane Company has agreed to pay over $4.5 million to resolve allegations of violating the False Claims Act.  According to a former Crane employee, Corla Jacobson, the failures occurred between 2011 and 2017 and involved selling the U.S. Navy high performance butterfly valves that did not conform to military specifications.  For initiating a successful qui tam action, Jacobson will receive a relator’s share of over $850,000.  USAO SDTX
