Summary
The most successful whistleblowers receive up to $100 million in government rewards—but 80 percent receive nothing at all. Why is that? Written by a former Department of Justice attorney, Whistleblowing: A Guide to Government Reward Programs (How to collect millions of dollars for reporting fraud), provides a rare, behind the scenes tour of three unique government programs paying significant rewards to citizens for reporting fraud under dozens of federal and state programs, such as Medicare or the military, or for reporting income tax fraud. People are surprised by these statistics:
- $2 billion in rewards have been paid.
- 1 out of 5 whistleblowers who applied received a reward.
- 1 out of 25 received over a million dollars.
- The average reward is $1.75 million.
- Fraud accounts for nearly 10 percent of all government spending.
- The largest rewards exceed $100 million.
The book is designed to help readers get their fair share of these rewards. If you strictly follow the procedures, a reward is likely. The program is designed to pay up to 30 percent of what it recovers to the person reporting the fraud. It’s just like following a recipe, and this book has the recipe. This first of its kind book not only explains the government reward programs, but guides citizens step-by-step through the entire process from gathering information to filing an application and receiving a reward. It is filled with many illustrations, examples, and helpful checklists. At nearly every corner, the author shares an anecdote or insight to help you prepare a winning application or avoid common mistakes and pitfalls. Whistleblowing warmly invites and equips the reader to do something concrete to thwart fraud and earn a reward in the process.
