In my post from yesterday, found here, I reported on the DBE “pass-through” fraud scheme engineered by Carl M. Weber Steel Service, Inc., and Karen Construction, Inc.
On January 11, 2016, Dennis and Dale Weber, the owners of Weber Steel, were each sentenced to six months’ home confinement and five years’ probation, and Weber Steel was placed on three years’ probation. All three were also ordered to jointly pay $1 million in restitution to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
On February 3, 2016, Judy Noll, the owner of Karen, was sentenced to three years’ probation and ordered to separately pay $336,219 in restitution to FHWA.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Office of Inspector General press release on the sentencing can be found here.
