LEGAL NOTICE
Federal Whistleblower Status and Evidentiary Standard
No individual or company implicated in the federal matters described on this website is publicly identified. Names and identifying information are confined to submissions provided to the IRS, FBI, DOJ, and other authorized government authorities. Public identification will occur only when supported by official public action, a public judicial record, or another lawful basis for disclosure.
Matters that are officially resolved, cleared for public disclosure, and result in a paid whistleblower recovery will appear publicly in the member RICO Case Portal. Portal entries will be limited to matters in which the whistleblower submission produced a successful, officially recognized outcome. Pending matters will remain nonpublic and non-identifying.
Public-Disclosure Provision
Nothing in this notice prohibits limited public disclosure when reasonably necessary to address an impending threat to human life or physical safety. Such disclosure may be made through any lawful channel, including but not limited to the media or other public communications, when reasonably necessary to alert others without delay. When human life or physical safety is at imminent risk, protecting people takes precedence over maintaining nonpublic status.
Documented harassment, intimidation, retaliation, or interference directed at a Federal Whistleblower or any member of the whistleblower team may constitute independent grounds for lawful public disclosure, including disclosure to the media, when the conduct continues after the responsible persons or entities have been placed on notice of the conduct and given an opportunity to cease it. Public disclosure under this provision is reserved for sustained or repeated conduct supported by documentation and is not based on isolated, trivial, or unsupported allegations.
We are federal whistleblowers, not litigants, prosecutors, judges, or adjudicators. We do not determine guilt, impose liability, or bring criminal charges. All persons and entities are presumed innocent unless and until guilt or liability is established by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Our team applies an evidentiary standard equal to the pre-filing discipline expected of a state or city attorney’s office. We submit nothing we do not believe can stand on the direct merits of the evidence and withstand adversarial scrutiny. Every factual claim is verified against primary-source records before submission.
Our review process includes corroboration of material facts, preservation of original records and metadata, separation of documented fact from reasonable inference, version control, independent review, and exclusion of allegations that cannot stand on the evidence.
We do not submit matters merely because misconduct appears possible or suspicious. We submit only matters we believe are sufficiently supported to warrant federal investigation. What cannot be established as documented fact is identified as reasonable inference and left for resolution by the appropriate federal authorities.
The decisions whether to investigate, charge, prosecute, seek civil recovery, or take no action belong exclusively to the IRS, FBI, DOJ, and the courts.
We report. The agencies investigate. The courts decide.
