| FINANCIAL REWARDS FOR
INFORMATION |
 |
|
A significant number of the practices outlined in
the "What to Report" section of this web site are illegal, and in
many cases there are significant financial rewards paid for
information about these crimes. This is especially true for
crimes involving income tax evasion, Medicaid fraud, or insurance
fraud. |
|
|
However, as we've indicated elsewhere, timing is
extremely crucial. Any information you have is probably known
by others as well. We pointed out earlier that if several
people in an office have knowledge of illegal activity, the first
person to come forward with it is the one who gets protection.
Generally speaking, that also applies to rewards. They are
usually paid to the first people who provide information, not
everyone who provides information. |
|
|
In those cases where there is no financial
reward, that doesn't mean there aren't incentives for coming
forward. To begin with, never underestimate the satisfaction
that comes from simply knowing that you did what is right.
Additionally, as any one who has ever been in this situation will
tell you, there is a tremendous sense of relief when you find out
that information you provided to the authorities is going to keep
you from going to jail. |
