What's a Whistleblower Award?
A whistleblower award is a payment you can receive from the U.S. government for providing information on companies who commit fraud, bribery or tax evasion. This can be an FCPA, SEC, CFTC or IRS violation. This includes violations relating to cryptocurrency and fraud or bribery in public procurement. In 2012 the U.S. government started rewarding brave individuals (often called whistleblowers) for providing information on corporate crime and so far has paid out over $2 billion. The average SEC award now stands at over $4 million.

Do I need a lawyer?
The U.S. government does not require you to use a lawyer when providing information.
However, if you don’t submit your claim correctly you may lose your entitlement to your award. Using a qualified and experienced law firm like FTI Law to help with your application can provides a number of benefits:
- Using an attorney can help ensure that your claim gets noticed and investigated. The Office of the Whistleblower receives a lot of information and it doesn't have the resources to investigate every claim;
- Using an attorney also ensures that you can maximize the award by making the strongest possible case;
- If you don't use an attorney, you cannot submit information anonymously. However, using an attorney allows you to do this in some circumstances;
- An attorney will take care of the legal procedures including making sure you meet submission deadlines. It also provides you with an advocate in the United States who can speak on your behalf ;
- Our online evaluation and consultation process are provided free of charge. If you do wish to engage us we work on contingency meaning we only get paid, if you get paid.
