Show Notes
Los Angeles lost $460,000 due to undelivered vehicle repair equipment, as per a new report. The General Services Department staff bypassed rules to pay Makai Solutions, despite no delivery. Makai is banned from city deals for three years and ordered to repay $542,260. However, the money hasnt been returned, and the superintendent who approved the prepayment is gone. The investigation revealed shared logins with no accountability and a two-year delay in reporting the fraud. The department is implementing fixes and strengthening procurement processes to prevent future scams.
