What's the background on this?

Crony Capitalism, fraud, gaming the bloated government, etc...

The contractor, Braulio Castillo, is the president and CEO of Strong Castle Inc., which has recently drawn scrutiny over hundreds of millions of dollars worth of questionable IRS contracts it has received. Investigators with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee have said that Castilllo claimed the injury and intentionally located the company in a government-designated "hubzone" to make his company's bids for IRS contracts more competitive.
Castillo, who is from Northern Virginia, could not seem to recall how he injured his ankle in the first place - by playing football or orienteering. He also claimed it had been broken, but the Oversight Committee said x-rays taken at the time did not reflect a fracture. The VA did award him disability status and currently sends him a monthly check.

I love Issa at the end, "I think the time was well spent."

Also this fucktard does all of this shit while my dad is declared incompetent and told he can't spend his money the way he sees fit because he fucking forgot to take his medicine two times.
