Two former Blackwater employees are suing the company for mismanagement of several millions of dollars. Couple Brian and Melan Davis claim Blackwater double billed the government for services not covered under their contract. Two inspector audits estimate the excesses are approximately $55 million. The couple also claim Blackwater used unwarranted "excessive force" against Afghan and Iraqi civilians and even used funds to purchase a prostituted Filipino woman's services.
At the time of publication, the NY Times had not received comment from a Blackwater, now Xe, representative. However, the allegations are merely one amongst several that suggest such improprieties were rife within the organization.
