• IRS Awards $104 Million to Guilty Whistleblower


”In what reportedly is the largest federal payout in U.S. history under any legal framework, the Internal Revenue Service has confirmed that it has paid a $104 million whistleblower award to a former investment bank employee. The award came four years after the employee cooperated with IRS investigators who were investigating tax evasion by the employee and his investment bank employer over a period spanning 2000 to 2007 through Swiss bank accounts.

”The now-former employee spent three years in prison after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to helping one of his clients evade taxes. He remains under house arrest for another several months.”
