💎 SBA 8a Program Audit ALERT: Many small businesses and federal contractors have been misled by illegal subcontracting with middleman strategies, where a single entity takes 100% of a contract instead of properly using subcontractors. Pete Hegseth acted against $20 million in sole-source 8(a) contracts, signaling increased scrutiny from the SBA. In this video, we break down how to stay compliant, the January 19, 2026 SBA 8(a) audit deadline, and what tribal-owned IEE firms, WOSB, SDVOSB, and HUBZone participants need to know to avoid penalties by using Jason White middleman illegal strategy on YouTube. Are you following the correct 8(a) audit compliance, stop middleman practices, and federal contracting rules today?

💎 CEO Diamond has been in federal contracting for 19 years as of January 12th, 2026, stacked millions upon millions of dollars in 8a sole-source contracts through federal government contracting through the SBA 8(a) program, winning multi-million-dollar contracts back-to-back year after year. Even after graduating from the 8(a) program in 2016 (ten years' later), I’m still winning contracts in the federal government space today, and I did it all without a single compliance violation.

🎥 In this video, I break down exactly what’s happening with the SBA audit, what Pete Hegseth’s January 16th announcement means for your business, and what you need to submit by the January 19th deadline to survive. I also share real examples of businesses that got caught running middleman schemes, including a Minnesota company that subcontracted 100% of their work and is now facing termination and criminal charges, plus ATI in California, a Tribal 8(a) firm that was suspended in October 2025 for over 100 million dollars in pass-through fraud.
