While reviewing cost overruns within the Georgia Electronic Design Center, Georgia Tech's Department of Internal Auditing found evidence of possible malfeasance including the misappropriation of institute resources for the benefit of a faculty-owned company, Sayana Wireless, LLC. According to the report, five employees have been fired or are planned to be fired. Records released to the news station, via a public records request, may provide evidence of bogus invoices created to generate payments to a French company that provided chips to Sayana Wireless.
