◆ In a March 7 speech, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said the Department of Justice (DOJ) is creating a rewards program for white-collar whistleblowers.[1] Although DOJ is authorized to pay for information that results in civil or criminal forfeitures, it hasn’t used this power in a targeted program. “Now’s the time to expand our use of this tool in corporate misconduct cases and apply it to reward whistleblowing,” Monaco told the American Bar Association’s National Institute on White Collar Crime. “The premise is simple: if an individual helps DOJ discover significant corporate or financial misconduct—otherwise unknown to us—then the individual could qualify to receive a portion of the resulting forfeiture.” DOJ will fill in the details over the next few months.
