What a foreboding way to remind the public that there still exists legal residuals in the City of Detroit when it comes to an investigation of fraud.
I have my popcorn, do you?
The amount of money owed by imprisoned ex-Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick continues to rise.
A
federal judge has ordered Kilpatrick and friends Derrick Miller and
Bobby Ferguson to pay a contractor more than $7.4 million for profits
lost to bid-rigging on water department contracts.
Willie McCormick and Associates has said city contracts were steered toward Ferguson companies and that kickbacks were given.
Kilpatrick
was ordered in August to pay $1.5 million in restitution to the water
department related to his 2013 corruption conviction. He was sentenced
to 28 years in federal prison and has said he is broke.
In 2014, he owed $800,000 to Detroit for restitution in another criminal case and $195,000 to the IRS.
Ferguson also is in prison. Miller was sentenced to time in a half-way house.
