Curtis A. Merriweather, Jr., Ph.D., was named a Game-changer by the White House Policy Advisor for Entrepreneurship and Innovation in 2020. He has secured more than $1B+ in contract ceiling. On this channel, Curtis will provide practical techniques, tips, and tricks that will aid your entrepreneurial journey. • Dr. Curt discusses recent court filings around the middleman approach to executing contracts. He cautions against taking advice from social media platforms such as Clubhouse, Facebook, Instagram, TitTok, and YouTube, as it can lead to compliance issues and potential legal troubles. The middleman approach involves winning a federal contract and delegating the majority of work to someone else while taking a cut of the profits. The middleman strategy violates the Limitations on Subcontracting 48 CFR § 52.219-14 and the broader Code of Federal Regulation (CFR). Please be careful and heed the counsel discussed in this video. Avoid embracing this strategy to prevent contract termination, federal suspension, federal debarment, and/or civil liabilities. • Court Cases • Case 1. Spartan Medical Inc. Junius J.
