Let me give another one. The case showed that 7 asphalt machines, extremely large machines, as big as trucks, were used to pave a parking lot for an Internal Revenue Service building in Oklahoma. Workers supposedly were paid $15 an hour. In reality, the parking lot had only room for 30 cars and it was made of concrete. There was no way that you could use asphalt paving on it. The Department of Labor said that the wages instead of being $15 an hour should have been $8 an hour if it had occurred. But it did not happen.
