A former civilian with the Air Force pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges that he rigged multimillion-dollar contracts for flight simulation technology and training in exchange for $2.3 million in bribes.
Keith Alan Seguin, 55, who worked for 28 years with the 502nd Trainer Development Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, admitted he conspired with contractor David Bolduc Jr. to rig a series of contracts so a company Bolduc co-owned, QuantaDyn Corp., would land much of the work. The scheme ran between 2006 and 2018.
Seguin pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy. He also pleaded guilty to charges of fraud and making false statements for stealing items meant for fulfilling some of the contract work and selling them online or to brokers, and for not reporting the money he made in the bribery scheme to the IRS.

As part of his plea,
Seguin admitted releasing confidential government information to employees of Booz Allen Hamilton and the engineering subsidiary Booz Allen acquired so they would pass through the work to QuantaDyn. In turn, QuantaDyn paid Seguin kickbacks.
Court records allege the two larger companies
charged fees of up to 10 percent for subcontracting QuantaDyn and that the two large companies profited for doing little to no work.
The government is investigating Booz Allen Hamilton and the subsidiary, though neither company nor any of its employees have been charged.
