Whistleblower Attorney Reveals False Claims Act Jackpot Secrets
Potential Rewards and Real-World Examples
The financial incentives for whistleblowers are substantial. For instance, in 2020 alone, the Department of Justice reported over $2.2 billion in settlements and judgments from civil cases involving fraud and false claims2. Whistleblowers in these cases received hundreds of millions of dollars in rewards. A notable example includes a whistleblower who received $33.6 million for exposing a fraudulent scheme involving a major pharmaceutical company3.
