So I work for a procurement company for the US Marines and Army. I work for an indian woman who sits in her home office and searches google for the best prices on items on quotes she receives from a contact in the Military. She then calls tons of different companies, finding the best prices, requesting quantity and GSA (federal gov't) discounting.
GSA contracting requires authorization, which we do not have. This basically means she's getting good prices which are intended for the government and reselling back to the government for ridiculous markup. I've seen the figures she's pulling in, and they have no idea what the prices are on the items she's buying because they are in another country obviously.
I don't support the war, and I'm not fond of our government, and I'm also not fond of my job. I want to quit, and thus brings us to the interesting part.
My job is to make calls and do the same thing she does. Many distributors request that we give them the address and facility we will be sending the products to, because they want to sell directly to the military themselves and make a better profit then they would by selling to us.
If I were to sell the contact that my boss has in the military to the companies who want it, would that be some type of fraud, or prosecutable by law in any way?
The reason I wouldn't feel bad about doing that is because of how she manipulates people into thinking we have GSA licensing.

seems like she would have grounds to sue you unless what she is doing is illegal. i dont think you would get away with selling the contact either. sounds like some really crooked business is going down.

I understand that what I would be doing would be very unethical in the business world, I just want to know if it's prosecutable by law.

That sounds highly sketchy. Is it fraud to ask for that GSA discount? Seems like you're doing some misrepresentation.

And so because of this, your going to screw over the woman you work for? I never understood why disgruntled employees don't just quit, why do you try and take others down with you?

It's not because I don't support the war. It has nothing to do with that. It's because I want to make money by selling her contacts and I really don't care that it would get rid of a FRACTION of her business because she makes so much money exploiting resale anyway.
