Manhattan prosecutors close probe of CrowdStrike's $32M Carahsoft IRS deal

Reporting by Bloomberg, relayed by Accounting Today on September 28, 2026, says U.S. prosecutors closed their investigation of CrowdStrike's deals with distributor Carahsoft without criminal or civil charges. The probe centered on a $32 million transaction for software meant for the IRS, which the agency never bought or received. The SEC's parallel inquiry has not been confirmed as closed, and CrowdStrike has said it is cooperating with DOJ and SEC requests.

• DOJ lawyers told people involved in July that no civil or criminal action would follow
