As Army Corps of Engineers program manager Kerry Khan approaches his July deadline for bid-rigging in what prosecutors said is the largest bid-rigging scandal of all-time in federal contracting, new details have emerged about the case. Khan pleaded guilty to bid-rigging charges – among other charges – last May. While federal protocol recommends at least 21 years behind bars, court documents reveal prosecutors are suggesting just over 15 years as well as a $32.5 million restitution fee.
