WHAT IS A WHISTLEBLOWER?

The term “whistleblower” can be traced back to the Middle Ages when the first qui tam provision appeared. Many Americans, however, still find the word ambiguous. We’re here to set the record straight: Whistleblowers bravely seize an opportunity to positively impact the lives of others by exposing an act of fraud, illegal wrongdoing, or unethical conduct within a company

Even if your perception of the word “whistleblower” was negatively influenced at some point in the past, it’s critical to understand that whistleblowers are not villains; they’re heroes. They play an integral role in maintaining transparency, integrity, and effectiveness of our government programs, and thus impact a wide range of industries in our country. 

Although the prevalent “corporate culture” in modern-day America may prefer for you to see things differently, our team strongly believes in the importance of holding policymakers accountable and ensuring justice is served. As a whistleblower, you can join us in being part of the solution.

WHAT QUALIFIES AS FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY? 

There are a variety of frauds that can qualify a person to initiate a whistleblower legal action. In recent years, officials have increasingly relied on whistleblowers to ensure justice is served, and the American people are protected under the law. At Whistleblowers International, we investigate many types of fraud where government money has been defrauded, including:

  • COVID-19
  • Cryptocurrency.
  • Cybersecurity. This involves a company failing to comply with cybersecurity requirements it may be obligated to follow under a government contract it has. 
  • Defense Contractor Military Fraud.
  • Derivatives and Commodity Futures.
  • Education. Fraudulent activity that occurs when a school or university violates the mandates in the Higher Education Act (HEA) to increase profits, such as enrolling unqualified students, paying kickbacks to recruiters, or defrauding the government of money in other ways. 
  • Environmental.
  • Financial. This involves the violation of federal securities or commodities laws, or other financial laws enforced by the SEC, CFTC or FinCen. 
  • Fraud Against the Government. This entails illegal acts that lead to government money being lost as a result of fraud.
  • Healthcare. This fraud can be committed by health professionals and patients alike. It involves intentionally deceiving or manipulating the healthcare system, such as billing a patient twice for the same service or visit, prescribing unnecessary services, and any other act involving a large-scale defrauding of government healthcare programs.  
  • Money Laundering. A fraud in which the fraudsters conceals the origin of illegally obtained money, such as drug trafficking.  
  • Natural Resources. When leasing land to drill or mine, scammers take advantage of the leasing agreement to unlawfully increase their profits or misrepresent the amount of oil, gas, or other natural resources.
