"[T]he NIH letter 'raises the prospect about whether EcoHealth violated 18 U.S.C. § 1031 and committed..fraud against the US."
"US government’s Grant Fraud..website..lists 'examples of grant fraud,' oncluding 'misrepresenting..project's status to continue receiving..funds.'"
"US government’s Grant Fraud..website..lists 'examples of grant fraud,' oncluding 'misrepresenting..project's status to continue receiving..funds.'"
""[B]etween Sept. 30, 2019, and Aug. 3, 2021, EcoHealth 'received $21,648,574 in grant funds from US taxpayers that..company may not have received if it had timely disclosed to NIH that it had created..virus that would trigger..cessation of its experiments'"
"EcoHealth..had six grants from the Pentagon..after September 2019, along with two from the Department of Health and Human Services"
"'The fact that EcoHealth received more than $21 million during this period shows that the company had a clear financial incentive to violate the terms of its grant by failing to stop its experiments.'"
"'In addition, EcoHealth's failure to provide the required reporting to NIH for nearly two years — despite a requirement in the grant to do so annually — suggests that EcoHealth knowingly withheld information from NIH in an effort to misrepresent the project's status.'"
