A Recent Win Over Halliburton for Whistleblower Harry Barko
Here is an excellent article by Allen Taylor of Top Secret Writers on the Barko case:
A Recent Win Over Halliburton for Whistleblower Harry Barko
Harry Barko is a whistleblower. In 2004, he was employed by Kellogg, Brown and Root, now known as KBR, a subsidiary of Halliburton. In his capacity as a subcontract administrator for KBR, Barko witnessed his company allegedly overcharging the federal government for services and filed a lawsuit under the False Claims Act on behalf of the government to recover penalties for those offenses. Since then, it’s been a wild ride for Harry Barko.
Needless to say, KBR and Halliburton have not been cooperative. They’ve fought Barko’s case in every way imaginable, even going so far as to claim that company documents he sought in discovery are protected by attorney-client privilege.
