DOS AND DON’TS: NAVIGATING THE RISKS OF WHISTLEBLOWERS AND THE FALSE CLAIMS ACT

GRL Raw Podcast Network

In this gripping episode of "Dos & Don'ts," host Bobby Rehkemper teams up with trial lawyer Angela Campbell to unravel the complexities of the False Claims Act. Bobby starts by presenting a chilling Reddit question from a user who, after helping convict a fraudulent lab company, now fears retaliation from the implicated doctor. This scenario sets the stage for a deep dive into whistleblower protections and the legal ramifications under the False Claims Act. Together, Bobby and Angela explain what it truly means to be a whistleblower—known as a "relator"—under the Act, highlighting the significant legal and personal risks involved. They also break down the differences between criminal and civil liabilities, discuss the available (or sometimes lacking) whistleblower protections, and underscore the severe penalties for making false claims against the government.

Angela provides practical advice to potential whistleblowers, emphasizing both the importance of legal representation and the challenges of maintaining anonymity. Furthermore, whether you're looking to protect yourself when reporting fraud or simply curious about the False Claims Act, this episode offers valuable insights you won’t want to miss.
