The Department of Defense looked into allegations regarding C-17 cargo planes

Boeing is not in trouble for money laundering, but the U.S. military is accusing the planemaker of some fiscal funny business involving cleaning supplies. An audit released by the Department of Defense on Tuesday found that the company was overcharging the government for spare soap dispensers on C-17 cargo planes.

    Those are for “various spare parts,” where $9M was paid for “some number” of 20 kinds of parts, and $4.3M was paid for “some number” of 9 kinds of parts. And admittedly, $150,000 was what was paid for an unknown number of spare soap dispensers.

    So we don’t really know how much a single soap dispenser cost, or how overpriced it was.
