U.S. and Plaintiff States v. Constellation Energy Corporation, et al.
U.S. v. James Briar
In December 2025, a federal grand jury returned a superseding indictment charging Maryland IT executive Victor Marquez with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, four counts of wire fraud, and major fraud. As alleged in the superseding indictment, from 2018 through 2022, Marquez and his co-conspirators defrauded the federal government through a bid-rigging and kickback scheme affecting large U.S. government IT contracts. Marquez and his co-conspirators used Marquez’s knowledge of sensitive procurement information to rig bids, including by submitting bids and certifications for IT Products contracts that they knew were materially false. Marquez and others concealed Marquez’s role in the procurement process in furtherance of the scheme. Marquez obtained kickbacks—what his co-conspirators called the “Vic tax”— for steering contracts to his co-conspirators. As a result of the scheme, Marquez and one of his companies received over $3.8 million from the U.S. government. The superseding indictment represents the most recent charges in the Justice Department’s investigation into IT manufacturers, distributors, and resellers. Two other individuals pleaded guilty last year in related cases. In August 2025, James Briar, an IT account representative, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to pay illegal kickbacks. In October 2025, Robert Fay, an IT sales executive, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to pay illegal kickbacks and to violating the Anti-Kickback Act.
