The contract specifically required the steel be provided by the United States. Instead Yun procured the materials from China and tried to cover up the foreign exchange.
Govt. contract, sounds like he was trying to save the govt. money.....

Maybe, maybe not. We have a joke about some materials specified on government drawings. We call it “un-obtainium”.
This is especially true when your making parts to drawings with old dates on them... spare parts if you will. Some alloys haven’t been made in decades. Some process standards cited are way obsolete. But the proper thing to do is to file for an exception.

Nope, he was trying to save his company money, not the government.

Chinese steel is crap. I have to drill a lot of sheet steel, and the chinese stuff often has tiny Crystal’s of hard steel in the mix from crappy recycling. Burns up the drill screws
