On April 17, 2026, a former DOJ Contractor was sentenced to 3 years of probation and ordered to pay a fine of $8,000 for one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States. Christy Evereklian was sentenced in the Central District of California. Evereklian and her brother, Jeffrey Spencer, who was an FBI Lead Electronics Technician, were charged by Information in July 2025. Both subsequently enter guilty pleas. According to the factual statement in support of the guilty plea, from no later than 2015 through at least August 2020, Evereklian conspired and agreed with Spencer to suppress and restrain competition by rigging bids to obtain electronic equipment contracts offered by the FBI and concealing the true ownership of multiple related companies. Evereklian’s companies won at least $350,000 in FBI contracts. The investigation is being conducted by the OIG’s Fraud Detection Office with assistance from the OIG’s Western Region and Cyber Investigations Office.
