July 27, 201016 yr A military contractor is arguing in court that it was totally fine and legal for him to bill the U.S. Government for escorts. "His lawyers also defended the hiring of prostitutes for employees and board members, arguing in court papers that it represented a legitimate business expense "if Mr. Brooks thought such services could motivate his employees and make them more productive."

Oh, really! http://gawker.com/5597566/body-armor-manufacturers-are-legally-entitled-to-hookers Just a ruse to avoid admitting to an 'act of knowing wrong doing' when they got caught. "Who? Me? I thought it was a legit expense with legit motives. Who knew? " Just laying the ground work for the typical resolution without an admission of wrong doing. Nothing new here -- in the brash pushing of the envelope, if not outright misappropriation of government funds, by corporate privateers or the obfuscated justifications such businesses use to defend their acts. Most military contractors view war zones as 'anything goes' zones when it comes to government money.

July 28, 201016 yr Deduct it on your taxes. Have your doctor write a prescription for physical therapy. No big deal. Yep. That'll make a big hit at the audit.
July 28, 201016 yr Active Members Yep. That'll make a big hit at the audit. That's when you pull your: "Who? Me? I thought it was a legit expense with legit motives. Who knew? " I suspect you too can make a settlement without admitting wrong doing.
January 25, 201115 yr I know some people feel screwed by the government, so it's interesting to see some people want to have the government pay for a piece of their action
