I don't know how much stock I'd put in that statement. If management wants to do it, they're gonna do it, despite what the employees say.

Why? Without that money, what's the incentive to blow the whistle? Not to mention that most whistleblowers are blacklisted, so they have a difficult time finding work after doing so. If they don't get that money, they'll like

Can't you record those talks and send them in with your proposal?

"There is a rational case to make for someone being both fully culpable for wrongdoing while still remaining entitled to bounties they've satisfied." Not really. Throwing them in jail sends the message that whistleblowing is
