Someone hasn't heard of qui tam


Qui tam (and the federal false claims act) are brilliant, such an elegant solution to a classic problem in government (corruption).


The False Claims Act is one of my favorite things in the world, hands down. Who would have guessed that paying whistleblowers a fraction of the proceeds for high stakes financial crime would be so effective? Well, aside from every economist and financier who ever lived, I mean.


Thank you for this tidbit of information!
