False Claims Act Attorney Discusses Prior Rewards and Statistics

As attorneys that represent individuals who want to seek a claim under the False Claims Act for a qui tam violation by a company, we wanted to advise that the Justice Department has disclosed Basco Manufacturing Company, of Ohio, will pay more than One Million Dollars to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act by submitting false customs declarations to avoid paying duties on aluminum extrusions from China that were at the time subject to a combined antidumping and countervailing duties of more than 400 percent.  Basco engaged in a pattern of practice called transshipping.

The company said there were disagreements between it and the Department of Justice, but that it decided to settle the claims and not admit wrongdoing. Nevertheless, the govenrment alleges that Basco and others engaged in a scheem to avoid paying duties by shipping the aluminum manufactured in China through Malaysia. The claims were made known by Whistleblower James F. Valenti, who will receive a share of the recovery under the relator provisions of the False Claims Act.
