TL:DR

Bruh, the ArriveCan app? Turns out the feds were kinda sus with how they handed out those contracts. We're talking millions of dollars and security rules MIA. Looks like someone wasn't paying attention in class. 📉

The Deets

Okay, so listen up, fam. Remember the ArriveCan app? Yeah, that one. Well, apparently, when the government was handing out contracts to the company behind it, they were NOT following the rules. Like, at all. We're talking security protocols straight up ghosted. 👻

This company, GCStrategies, got a whopping 106 contracts from 31 different federal orgs between 2015 and 2024. That's a LOTTA deals. The auditor general was like, "Hold up, something ain't right," and started digging. 🔎

Turns out, the total value of those contracts was over $90 million, and they already paid out $65 million! But here's the real tea: when the auditor general checked out a bunch of those contracts, they found that a lot of 'em didn't follow the proper procurement rules. And get this – there wasn't even enough proof to show that the work had actually been done. 🤯

So, basically, the government might have just yeeted a whole lotta cash at a company without even making sure they were doing the work and following the rules. That's a major L, and someone's gonna have some explaining to do. Stay tuned, this is gonna be a wild ride. 🎢
