Joshua Harman
Joshua Harman is an entrepreneur and activist. He is the co-founder of Selco Construction Services, as well as SPIG Industry LLC, a private Virginia-based company that installs guardrails. Harman is the
whistleblower in the lawsuit against
Trinity Industries Inc. He sued Trinity on behalf of the government under the
qui tam provisions of the
False Claims Act in 2012. In October 2014, the jury of the U.S. District Court in
Marshall, Texas ruled that Trinity will pay $525 million, the largest whistleblower award won without the assistance of the
US Justice Department. In June 2015, the judge awarded Harman over $199 million, or 30 percent of the final settlement of $663 million against Trinity Industries. This verdict was reversed by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals who ruled that there was no evidence that the government had in any way been defrauded.
