Government Entities

What Makes Governments Vulnerable to Fraud?

Governments—state, local and federal—pay for healthcare and buy goods and services. Their pension funds invest money for the benefit of government employees in stocks, bonds and other vehicles intended to protect the retirements of workers whose livelihoods are directed to public service.

Governments and their units are therefore often victimized by the same kinds of fraudulent and unethical conduct experienced by businesses and individuals in the private sector.

Recovering Government Funds

WBE firmly believes that government officials have not only the right, but also the responsibility, to attempt to recover funds wrongfully taken from the government. In large part, these funds belong to their constituents—the taxpayers.

Thus, whether Medicare or Medicaid fraud, securities fraud, or breaches of fiduciary duty in the handling of government funds and debt are involved, WBE stands ready to represent government entities and help them recover assets unlawfully taken from them and their taxpayers.
