As the size of the government has grown and the complexity of its business affairs expanded, whistleblowers have exposed fraud in a multitude of industries, including health care, transportation, defense contracting, pharmaceutical sales, Medicare, Medicaid, construction, and a host of others. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) recognizes the important role whistleblowers play in the fight against government fraud and has stepped up its enforcement efforts. Working together, well-informed whistleblowers, their counsel, and the DOJ have, in recent years, recovered billions of dollars in taxpayer money obtained by fraud. And the numbers keep growing—there are more than 1,000 False Claims Act cases currently under consideration by the federal government.
Presented by Hodgson Russ, the Whistleblower Blog is written by a team of lawyers experienced in successfully guiding companies and whistleblowers through the False Claims Act process.
