The $30,000 was accounted for: taxes, a machine, and documentation. Perfectly reasonable.
But...
* "Most of it" went to taxes. (Wait, what?)
* A $5000 machine. (For what?)
* Documentation? (For a version that doesn't exist yet?)
These kinds of shenanigans are why government contracts are such a mess. Details matter.
