U.S. v. Kevin Mahler

Kevin Mahler, a project manager at a government contractor, pleaded guilty to a six-count criminal information in January 2024 charging him with four counts of violating the anti-kickback act, one count of conspiracy, and one count of filing a false tax return. Mahler pleaded guilty to conspiring with Benjamin McCulloch, the owner of a commercial flooring company, to receive kickbacks flowing from artificially inflated construction proposals. This scheme affected government contracts for construction and flooring services at Fort Wainwright, a U.S. Army installation in Fairbanks, Alaska.
