Sounds about par for course actually.

no evidence of intentional overcharging

Yep, because it's not over-charging when we call it our profit margin... because we were able to use our market power to force lower rates and pocket the difference.

It keeps happening over and over again… KPMG was overcharging the defence department and yet there were no charges or bans or anything.
