SECURITY CONSULTING FIRM ABSG CONSULTING, INC., AGREES TO PAY $650,000 TO RESOLVE FALSE CLAIMS ACT ACTION

ABSG Consulting, Inc., has agreed to pay the United States $650,000 to resolve an allegation that it knowingly submitted false claims to Amtrak in the award of a $1 million training contract. The allegation arose because Amtrak was not notified that ABSG Consulting’s program manager for the contract had a close personal and financial relationship with the senior Amtrak Police Department (APD) official who approved ABSG Consulting’s selection as the winning bidder and oversaw implementation of the training program.
