A former FBI official and his sister are being charged with conspiracy to defraud the U.S. over allegedly submitting fake bids on electronic equipment to score about $350,000 in government contracts.
Jeffrey Spencer, 51, of Canyon Country, and Christy Evereklian, 43, of Temecula, will plead guilty, the U.S. Department of Justice announced in a news release this week.
Spencer was an electronics technician for the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.
They were accused of submitting what “purportedly [were] independent and competitive bids” from Evereklian’s several companies.
“Evereklian submitted bids from her own companies to the FBI using the names of her relatives to conceal her control over bidding companies, and she used a random number generator to create the fraudulent bids,” the DOJ said.
