October 15, 2021, BUFFALO, N.Y. -- U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross announced today that Strock Contracting, Inc., of Cheektowaga, NY, has agreed to enter into a consent judgment with the United States for $4,752,000 to resolve claims that it violated the False Claims Act. The United States filed an action in federal court alleging that Strock Contracting profited financially after fraudulently obtaining federal contracts intended to benefit service-disabled veterans.
In order to be eligible for contracts that are reserved for service-disabled-veteran-owned small businesses, firms must be both owned and controlled by a service-disabled veteran. The United States alleged that Strock Contracting, which was not owned or controlled by a veteran, recruited a service-disabled veteran to create a pass-through company, known as Veterans Enterprises Company, Inc. (VECO), which the company and its owner, Lee Strock, actually controlled. In its complaint, the United States alleged that the company carried out this scheme by directing VECO to submit false certifications of eligibility to the government, which allowed Strock Contracting to obtain substantial profits on numerous federal contracts which should have been awarded to eligible companies. Strock Contracting allegedly profited from these contracts through phony loans, sham lease agreements, and other deceitful financial arrangements.
