US DoJ launches 3-year Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program, paying whistleblowers for reporting corporate misconduct.

The US Department of Justice launched a Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program, encouraging individuals to report corporate misconduct in specific areas like foreign corruption, financial crimes, and healthcare fraud. Lasting three years, the program pays whistleblowers a percentage of forfeited assets if a prosecution occurs. This initiative complements existing whistleblower programs run by civil regulators.
