The whistle blower awards are great but aren't always sufficient. How much would he have gotten for this? Enough to have his life turned upside down and moved to a different country? The awards also need to come with witness protection and other help. The bigger the fraud, the larger lengths people will go to fight it. Most people just want to get through the day and do their own thing. We need to over-incentivize and over-protect them to get more people coming forward. In the end, it is also way cheaper than the police/military complex we try to use to solve it now.
