“A small South Carolina parts supplier collected about $20.5 million over six years
from the Pentagon for fraudulent shipping costs, including $998,798 for sending two
19-cent washers to a Texas base, U.S. officials said.

The company also billed and was paid $455,009 to ship three machine screws costing
$1.31 each to Marines in Habbaniyah, Iraq, and $293,451 to ship an 89-cent split
washer to Patrick Air Force Base in Cape Canaveral, Florida, Pentagon records show.”
