Pentagon overpaid oilman by up to $200 million
"A Pentagon audit has found that the federal government overpaid a billionaire oilman by as much as $200 million on several military contracts worth nearly $2.7 billion. ...Harry Sargeant III, a well-connected Florida businessman and once-prominent Republican donor, first faced scrutiny over his defense work in October 2008..."
When you're talking $2.7 billion a couple hundred million is easy to lose track off. Especially when you're bigtime donor.
