I'll admit, I'm super impressed with this system. It doesn't exist in my home country, whistleblowers are actually treated very poorly here. Whatever else you can say about the US, their whistleblower system absolutely is a great example of market incentives working for their public.

It depends on whose wrongdoing is getting outed. US Gov is fine when the whistle is getting blown on someone else. When US Gov's misdeeds get brought to light, it has no greater purpose than deploying revenge against the whisteblower. The last administration filed more espionage charges against whistleblowers than all previous administrations combined. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2013/06/edward-snowden-is-eighth-person-obama-has-pursued-under-espionage-act.html https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2013/06/edward-snowden-i...
