Management company settles for $18.4M after nuclear weapons plant staff fudged their timesheets

A company contracted to manage an Amarillo, Texas nuclear weapons facility has to pay US government $18.4 million in a settlement over allegations that its atomic boffins fudged their timesheets to collect more money from Uncle Sam.

Adding a few extra hours here and there may not seem like a huge deal, but the falsification of timesheets is considered a serious offense, and is often seen similarly to theft. It's a form of gross misconduct and can get most people fired, if caught.
