I get that there is no money from the penalty so he can't get paid from that but he should at least get paid for his expenses and time. After all, his help was invaluable to the case. There needs to be a minimum payout. I bet all the lawyers got paid from the recovered funds so he should get his share from that.
- fastball 5y agoI guess the problem is that if you're not collecting a fine what exactly is the bar for this minimum payout?
- WheelsAtLarge 5y agoYes, but there was $1 billion recovered for the victims. I guarantee the lawyers that did the work got a share of that money. I think the whistleblower should have gotten, at the very least, his expenses covered. That's how bankruptcy works. There's an amount of money recovered then all interested parties tell the court how much they are owed. An finally, a judge decides who gets what. Like I said, the lawyers got their share. I think he should too.
