Watch that whistle

Whistleblowers can make millions of dollars under the False Claims Act, but there are safeguards built in against whistleblowers who file frivolous claims. From AIS:

The whistle-blower who filed a now-dismissed lawsuit against a Michigan hospital corporation will have to pay more than $1.6 million to cover that organization's attorney fees because she filed a "factually baseless retaliation claim"...

Think twice before blowing the whistle.
