Given that the budget was set at $300 million, any payments over $1 billion are absurd by even the worst crooks in regular government. A 1000% markup on a project should be illegal however it happens. Sorry, if a company wants to overrun the same should apply as to my mechanic 30% above estimate and you pay the rest. Government would have paid $400 million, sounds about right for a cost overrun to me, not $3 billion.
