• finding liability for false claims based on “reports in support of payment that omitted information indicating that [defendant] was acting in a manner that was contrary to the core terms of the Program.”
• “[T]he evidence allowed the district court to find that the value of the ‘best efforts’ provided by TDC was vitiated by TDC’s fraudulent concealment of its rent-seeking behavior.”
