What this profile says up front
The broker whose geographic footprint raises questions about the nature of the arrangement
Montague Capital Partners, LLC is classified in the interpleader record under the commission and intermediary stack, claiming unpaid broker or intermediary fees against the HII subcontract proceeds. Denis Montague is the identified principal. The claim is supported by Texas litigation in addition to the E.D. Va. interpleader.
The geographic dimension of Montague's alleged activity — documented in prior investigative coverage through Albania, Bogotá, and Miami — raises questions about the scope of what was actually done to earn a claimed entitlement against a U.S. government defense contract subject to ITAR and FAR restrictions.
The findings below are analytical and drawn from court filings and prior coverage. They are not findings of liability.
The numbers that frame the profile
What the record establishes
The claim: ~$3.5M broker fee, Texas and E.D. Va. proceedings
Montague Capital Partners has filed claims in both Texas litigation and the E.D. Va. interpleader asserting entitlement to unpaid broker or intermediary fees tied to the HII/Ukraine opportunity. Denis Montague is identified as principal. The claim amount is approximately $3.5M — approximately 5% of the original contract value.
FAR 52.203-5 and the broker certification question
A broker or intermediary arrangement designed to solicit or help secure a government contract falls directly within the scope of FAR 52.203-5's certification requirement. At the time of the August 2023 subcontract award, Cyberlux was required to certify that no such arrangement existed. Whether Montague's arrangement was disclosed in that certification does not appear in any public filing.
The geographic scope and ITAR broker registration question
Prior investigative coverage, drawing on communications and corporate records, documents connections between Montague Capital Partners and activity in Albania, Bogotá, and Miami in relation to the Cyberlux contract opportunity. ITAR Part 130 requires registration and disclosure for foreign military sales brokering activity. Whether Montague was registered as a foreign military sales broker with the State Department, and whether the geographic scope of its alleged activity required such registration, does not appear in any public filing.
Schmidt Declaration: Montague referenced in opposition filing
The Schmidt Declaration filed in opposition to summary judgment in the Montague v. Cyberlux Texas proceedings provides a Cyberlux perspective on the Montague arrangement. That declaration is part of the documentary record and offers a contested account of the nature and validity of Montague's claimed entitlement.
