“In what legal experts characterized as a rare finding, Judge Christensen concluded that the Government, as the defendant in the case, had ”perpetrated a fraud upon the court.” As a result of ”convoluted actions,” the judge said, ”the processes of the court were manipulated to the improper and unacceptable advantage of the defendants.””
