The guy who uncovered this, Sholto David, is basically just awesome? Watch him cycle from Wales -> China in 90 days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdgHZPfivVA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdgHZPfivVA This isn't his first fraud rodeo either. For his discovery of serious fraud by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in 2024, he received $2.6 million. Be more like Sholto, exercise your free will!

I didn't realize whistleblowers could recover part of fraud settlements: > The civil settlement includes the resolution of claims brought under the qui tam or whistleblower provisions of the False Claims Act by Sholto David. Under those provisions, a private party can file an action on behalf of the United States and receive a portion of any recovery. David will receive $2,625,000 under today’s settlement. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/dana-farber-cancer-institute-agrees-pay-15m-settle-fraud-allegations-related-scientific https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/dana-farber-cancer-institute-...

      If you believe the conspiracy theories, that Boeing whistleblower “took his own life” before testimony and any potential payout.

  Short sellers have become the biggest SEC whistleblowers if they discover suspected fraud - it’s a more lucrative and less risky than shorting: https://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article/2d7d14lmtfwc1e9yeir5s/corner-office/activist-short-sellers-are-the-secs-biggest-whistleblowers https://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article/2d7d14lmtfwc1e...

Are you sure? Did he donate the money away? In the video you sent, he seems quite anxious about his nightly budget. EDIT: ah it seems his trip was before that
