    Episode 6: How, Why, and When Whistleblower Rewards Are Given

    The False Claims Act and other whistleblower laws offer substantial awards to individuals that successfully demonstrate that a large-scale fraud scheme against the government has occurred.

How much a whistleblower is actually rewarded depends on 13 key factors, each of which James Young explains in this episode. A qualified qui tam attorney will take note of these factors to advocate for the highest possible whistleblower reward.

    Episode 5: When Corporations Fight Back

    Major companies do everything in their power to fight back against qui tam lawsuits. Within the scope of each case, it’s important for attorneys and whistleblowers alike to be stay ahead of common defenses.

    Episode 1: The Evolution of the Modern Whistleblower

    The Whistleblower Attorneys Podcast with James D. Young begins its initial six-part series by exploring the background and history of whistleblower laws. Though the False Claims Act made pro-whistleblower legislation official in the United States, qui tam laws have roots as far back as 7th Century England. While the logic behind original whistleblower reward laws was to set “a rogue to catch a rogue,” these anti-fraud measures have evolved significantly over the centuries. Now, most whistleblowers are not involved--or are only minimally involved--in the fraud they report. James Young is a whistleblower attorney and partner with leading plaintiff’s law firm Morgan & Morgan. Having served as Special Counsel to three Florida attorneys general, James has first-hand experience as a government prosecutor and has worked extensively on healthcare fraud, medical device, and pharmaceutical cases. Learn more about the False Claims Act at www.whistleblowerattorneys.com. Episode topics: 00:09 Introduction and short summary of episode topics 01:16 Background information about Whistleblower Attorney James D. Young 02:11 Origins of the role of the whistleblower and the term "qui tam” 11:52 Amendments to the False Claims Act in 1943 and in 1986, the modern False Claims Act 13:34 Three important takeaways from this episode
