What does it cost to hide defects? $0.5M in this case

 REVIEW: Konica Minolta settles lawsuit alleging flaws in EHR software for $500,000 by ELISE REUTER of MedCityNews

"The whistleblower case alleged that an electronic health records company acquired by Konica Minolta cheated on certification tests to hide software issues."

Summary:
-"In 2015, Konica Minolta acquired Viztek, a North Carolina-based health IT company."

-"Viztek allegedly hard-coded its software to pass certification requirements" (a.k.a. doing the Volkswagen)

-Not a lot more details here, but another example of the length of deceit people and companies will go to hide defects rather than fix them.
