How did they catch them?

Contracting with the government means you open your books to them, essentially
whenever they want. They can audit you at any time.

So have these guys essentially lost $40k plus time involved? This doesn't
sound like much of a deterrent. There should really be criminal charges for
these blatant fraudulent behaviours. While I believe prison should primarily
be a rehabilitation, giving white collar criminals actual time will work as a
deterrent rather than a 'don't get caught' mentality.

Don't forget lost future business too - good luck winning the next contract

enough, it could potentially even put a place out of business.

I took at look at this and had to try installing it on my Raspberry Pi. It
worked great!

I couldn't get it to recognize my microphone but I didn't fiddle with that
much. It was easy to capture an audio track on my Mac while recording the
screen on the Pi and bring the movie over into Quicktime and sync them up.

I have recorded many hundreds of hours of content. I first used Quicktime on
MacOS, it worked well enough. Great quality, fast, and easy to use.

More recently I moved over to OBS, which I consider to be far superior to
Quicktime for one important reason: more control over audio settings. With OBS
I can use just about any mic and get reasonable sound quality with a few
tweaks. At present, I'm

 thus have these guys basically lost $ 40k plus time involved? This doesn't 
 sound like much of a hindrance. There should really be criminal charge for 
 these blatant fraudulent behaviours. While I think prison should primarily 
 be a rehabilitation, giving ashen collar criminals actual clock time will work as a
