What recourse does the government have?
1. Charge the subcontractor $4 million, plus interest, compounded daily, until the overpayment is repaid
2. Charge the prime contractor $4 million, plus interest, compounded daily, until the overpayment is repaid
3. Charge the prime contractor $6 million, plus interest, compounded daily, until the overpayment is repaid
4. Charge the subcontractor $2 million, plus interest, compounded daily, until the overpayment is repaid.
