False Claims Act
For government contractors responsible for tracking time records under government procurement contracts—and for federal grantees responsible for submitting time and effort documentation to their federal funding agencies accurate timekeeping records are crucial.
For a nuclear plant contractor, the submission of false timekeeping entries over a six-year period proved to be far more serious than a simple documentation issue. On Tuesday April 23, 2024 the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that Consolidated Nuclear Security LLC (CNS) had agreed to pay $18.4 million to resolve timecard fraud that occurred from 2014 to 2020.

Falsifying Timesheets for DEI Requirements
The Hierarchy submits timesheets to the Urban Affairs Coalition omitting the name of the Caucasian laborer so that the work is recorded under federal grants as being performed by Black workers from “The Hierarchy.” This loophole allows UAC to meet Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) goals while the laborer does not receive W2 or 1099 forms.
The Jacques Latoison Short Bus Math

The 7-minute time clock rule is a time-tracking method that rounds employee hours to the nearest quarter-hour increment, as permitted by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This rule simplifies the timekeeping process by rounding employees’ clock-in and clock-out times to the nearest 15-minute mark. This means rounding can go up or down to the 15-minute increment.
UAC C-Suite management was aware that The Hierarchy intentionally inflates timesheet hours. Latoison rounds time increments up to the nearest full hour. In May 2023, UAC Management was informed that The Hierarchy was misappropriating overtime pay to benefit his company, justifying the act as a form of reparations.
The construction contract gross pay reported on grants is an uncalculated number.
All the grant overseers look at is Gross Pay.
Izzyan Latoison designed the system so UAC could enter in one hour at one dollar and enter $250,000 as the gross pay.
From The Hierarchy’s perspective, [Hours] * [Rate] <> [GrossPay]. 🤡
The issue of inflating hours worked on contracts is further complicated by the Hierarchy’s creation of an “SQL view” that has the same name as the “Timesheet table.” This change in the front-end ODBC causes the view to display instead of the actual table, making it difficult for auditors to identify who is responsible for the inaccurate gross pay data. They have missed the farce for ten years.
Latoison became very upset when these infractions were identified. Jacques seems to suffer from the Mandela Effect; a person suffering from it is physically incapable of admitting a mistake. Jacques claims the programmer “lacks compassion for the minority community.” Latoison admits the falsification of timesheets is intentional and driven by diversity concerns.
Here is an excerpt from the email that Latoison claims he sent to the UAC EDP C-Suite management and to his scapegoat wife’s Gmail account.
(Using personal email for government contracts is prohibited.)
🤡 Please disregard the spelling errors and the grammar from hell.
I’m going to send an email out to EDP concerning the changes you’ve made to their RDB’s.
When you were rather forcefully explaining to me why you believed their reports to be wrong, I was trying to convey that you’re thinking was incorrect.
EDP’s reports for many clients get checked against the client’s own reporting (some clients have done their own work with the payrolls separate of EDP) and they tend to match. This is in part, due to the very valid reasons why the RDB’s were stopped from doing the math for the gross pay versus allowing Data Entry people to hand type it. 🤯
You are not mistaken concerning the general rule that data entry mistakes can happen as human beings tend to be less than perfect, but part of the RDB’s design, which has worked for over a decade is that some reports in the main RDB help to flag issues with other reports in the same system.
What is needed here is a more open mind about how things can be designed.
The reason developers still have and will always have work is due to the diversity of how IT needs to be wrapped around various clients, in different and diverse ways, to meet the business requirements.
… You are being directly disrespectful…
…make sure its doing what they actually need it to do, versus ANY standard.
Latoison admitted that the UAC reports to the federal government use “special math” for minorities where 1+1 does not equal 2. Is it not a coincidence that every deviation results in getting paid more. For ten years dollars have been inflated to give the illusion DEI goals are on target.
Philadelphia Youth Network Intern Pay Issues
UAC admits they intentionally classify youth labor as a one-time “stipend” payment to avoid paying UAC insurance as employees. The youth enter their hours in the PYNDEX timesheet program and the UAC CAO uses the General Fund for payroll disguised as a stipend.
Children over twelve (12) years old receive a “PYN WorkReady Visa Payroll Card” debit card. Their paychecks will be deposited onto this card, which can be used wherever debit cards are accepted, including ATMs. Additionally, the youths can transfer funds from their cards directly to a bank account.
(The age limit for payroll cards varies by program but is usually at least 18 years old).
Maybe the child will be robbed at the ATM, bullied into sharing their card, buy adult items online, or withdraw cash to buy crack. Endless possibilities!
Stipends to Avoid Being Covered by UAC
There will be no payroll deductions. Since they are not on UAC’s payroll. They will need to complete a W9 form to be issued a check.
You do not want them on UAC payroll because it will cause them to be covered by UAC insurances as employees.
Since the funds being issued are from UAC general fund, UAC should treat the payment as a one-time stipend payment which is done for other programs and requires w9 form be completed and signed.
