Why this site exists.

I read an article about Cyberlux once. The CEO described his company as a virus inside the DoD. He meant it as a compliment. I read it again to make sure.

I know the defence procurement world. The people who build things for the military don't talk that way. They understand what the language actually means. So I started reading the documents.

The government had sent $38.7 million in advance — Foreign Military Financing, intended for drone production for a country at war. Three days after the money arrived, $213,000 went to purchase an armoured Mercedes for an executive. Six weeks later, $850,000 moved to another executive's personal investment account. Drones that cost roughly $5,000 to build were billed to the government at nearly $40,000 each. The drones had not been delivered.

Not the legal mechanics of how it resolves — the courts will handle that — but the question underneath it: how does this happen, what does it say about the systems meant to prevent it, and what does it mean that it did.

This site was built to hold that question open. In public. In a form that any reader can verify and any institution can access.

The cost of this work has been real. My family members have been publicly named in connection with this reporting. Photographs of where I live have been shared online. I received communications I reported to the DoD, the FBI, and the GSA. I stepped away from publishing for a period. I came back and continued.

After two years, the system started catching up to what the record contained. Federal investigators engaged with the same material.
