What is the other company "charges" the Govt 120 million for the supplies? And 100 mil is not split in the pockets of a few people because of this deal?
Is this a possible scenario? For the govt to "show" that ALOT more money was spent on stuff while they are simply pocketing all the money and laughing at the American public?

Military spending is a fucked up mess. So no this does not work. As the friend has to go through 30 hoops before he gets the contract. It also will take several years at which time a new president will try and give this to his friend who will then burn millions and not get the contract either.
You are better off to have friends in the right spots already and then invade countries and fuck with the oil reserves of the world. Then your friends who were already there are happy and you make them tons of money.
