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?

In recent years, officials have increasingly relied on whistleblowers to ensure justice is served, and the American people are protected under the law.
