When James H. Holzrichter, Sr. literally fell into a job with one
of the country's largest defense contractors (and developer at the
time of the Stealth Bomber), it appeared he had been given his
second real break in life to leave behind a tortured childhood, a
challenging youth, and the unstable work and constant moving he and
his family had experienced for years. In spite of his absence of
advanced degrees, his solid knowledge of electronics developed
years before in a special program in the Coast Guard and his
natural abilities to improve systems for tracking testing of
high-tech parts and components led to rapid advancement. Add to
this the additional life changing stint in rehab that also helped
transform his life and that of his family, and it appeared he and
they had been given a genuine shot at the American Dream. What he
did not know was that his very abilities to create more systematic
tracking systems and his almost accidental expansion of duties in
doing so would place his whole existence in jeopardy. As his work
increasingly provided a view across normally strictly partitioned
need-to-know only information on different projects and even stages
of development, he inescapably discovered patterns of apparent
mismanagement up to likely known fraud that resulted in mis-billing
and over-billing the government and taxpayers of the United States
to the tune of probably many millions to potentially billions of
dollars per year. When his early distress over what to do and
doubts over whom to trust left him nearly paralyzed in determining
a plan of action, the arrival on the scene of federal DCIS agents
demanding his aid as an essentially undercover secret federal
informant genuinely presented a point of no return. The soon to be
full on David and Goliath saga that was now in unstoppable full
motion would take the next seventeen years to play out in high risk
secret information gathering, humiliating family stays in homeless
shelters, precedent setting legal battles, and barely disguised
attempts on his life (and that of his children) along with the
alleged murder by cancer causing poison of his co-complainant.
