A contractor tasked with replacing the roof and air conditioning systems in government buildings in Tennessee has been sentenced to 24 months in prison for fraud. The contractor, M. Cleve Collins, had filed false reimbursement claims with the General Services Administration (GSA) for $580,000 that he’d supposedly paid a small roofing subcontractor for work it had performed. However, the subcontractor was never paid, and Collins has been ordered to pay restitution of $517,750. USAO WDTN
