New York State’s new Taxpayer Protection Bureau, which New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman established in January 2011, was designed to eliminate fraud and recoup money illegally taken from New York State taxpayers. The Taxpayer Protection Bureau recently targeted a food services provider relative to their rebate and billing practices. On October 5, 2011, Attorney General Schneiderman announced a $1.6 million settlement with Whitson’s Culinary Group stemming from allegations under the New York False Claims Act and allegations of overcharging school districts and other education providers to the tune of $800,000. This clearly will not be the last investigation or settlement.
