A federal jury found that Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) violated the False Claims Act and ordered the company to pay the government $6 million in damages. The Federal Times reported that the jury concluded that SAIC failed to disclose conflicts of interest that could have biased its work with the Nucelar Regulatory Commission.
SAIC must also pay fines for each of the 77 claims submitted, adding between $385,000 and $770,000 to the penalty.
