“Whistleblowers are a rare breed, and that’s one of the reasons why they get these big financial rewards.”
One of the biggest settlements in the last year was a $48.5M case where a company posing as a service-disabled veteran owned organization and going after those set aside contracts, when they in fact were not own by a service-disabled veteran.
The whistleblower in this case was a competing company who was losing out on potential contracts due to the unlevel playing field.
The Security Clearance Careers Podcast focused on whistleblowers this week – their role in government contracting, the different types of fraud companies can commit, and what protections whistleblowers have under the False Claims Act.
