Government Contractors Pay $7.5 Million After Turning Afghan Compound Into A Obscene Booze-Fueled Frat House

The contractors who defrauded the government into getting a $189 million contract, while hosting booze-soaked parties and providing prostitutes to workers apologized yesterday and agreed to pay Uncle Sam a $7.5 million fine.

According to Wired, ArmorGroup North America was in charge of protecting the U.S. Embassy in 2009 when allegations began to surface of deviant work practices and fraud. It was then that photos emerged showing a "Lord of the Flies Environment."

That meant, in the words of one of the guards, “peeing on people, eating potato chips out of ass cracks, vodka shots out of ass cracks (there is video of that one), broken doors after drnken brawls, threats and intimidation from those leaders participating in this activity.” (He allowed, “they are not jamming guys in the ass per say .”)


In addition, to pull off its low-ball bid the organization hired Nepalese guards who barely spoke English to guard the U.S. Embassy in Kabul making communications impossible among guards.

3. they probably should have been called AmourGroup instead of ArmorGroup

4. ArmorGroup is a British outfit, and STILL continues to be in hot water:

per Wiki:
On October 27, 2010,
the Department of State's Office Inspector General released a report finding that Armorgroup of North America had not been able to recruit, train, or manage the KESF at the staffing level or the quality required by its contract with the Department of State.
They also found that AGNA had employed Nepalese guards without verifiable experience, training, or background investigations in violation of its contract.<9>

What I love about these private mercenary outfits is they belong, for the most part, to an organization that ArmorGroup created, called the "International Peace Operations Association".

PEACE Operations......:puke:
