It appears that the agency is just as incompetent as it is cruel.

      That’s kind of a best case scenario in this situation.

      The private contractor gets about $100/ day per person, so they so have an incentive to make up numbers. $100k / day out of the $250B is a rounding error.

        Not for the person pocketing it, it’s very common kind of fraud in various repression organs through history.

        Nazis are horrible but since the 30s they’ve been making numbers up to look good to their superiors.

        It’s part of why authoritarian regimes fail.
