The Trump administration's new fraud whistleblower program has received thousands of tips in just days, Assistant Attorney General for the National Fraud Enforcement Division Colin McDonald revealed Saturday on "My View with Lara Trump," as the Justice Department ramps up its crackdown on fraud.
"In the last few days, we've received thousands of tips through this new tip line. This is a novel approach, a novel approach to try new things to combat the fraudsters," he said, adding that fraudsters were "constantly evolving" new tactics while the federal government just did "the same old thing" until now.
"We are going to do new things, and this whistleblower program is an example of that, where folks can get upfront payment when there is an arrest and not have to wait to the very end of a case, which is what every other whistleblower program in history has done," he added.
President Donald Trump announced the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program on Tuesday and said qualifying tipsters would receive a 1% commission, subject to applicable laws and rules.
McDonald, the administration's "fraud czar," praised the new approach.
Under the new program, submitting an allegation alone would not qualify someone for a reward. The tip must lead to a successful fraud conviction or significant federal enforcement action, according to a White House official.

Sleep with both eyes open....
In some ways that’s too bad. I’m betting there’s a lot of low level employees that just know that something is really off.

I suspect the culprits that have a stake in the fraud will, in their defense, turn on their robotic friends to bog down the tip line with bogus tips.
GREAT
My friends-Should I turn in the former ‘boyfriend’ of my ex? He ‘married’ her and they didn’t do the ‘necessary/minimum’ 2 years. The guy never stuck around after the honeymoon which was great-saw the pics. He DID get his money from her. When the scheduled ‘interview’ with the INS came up she was ‘advised’ by lawyers to withdraw her application to avoid getting arrested on the spot. Now she’s back in the old country getting treatment for something bipolar-like. Her withdrawal may allow for a future return. She’s got a bank account here and a social security #. In going after him I could report her stays in the psycho ward that the local cops are not allowed to report-got jobs(asses) to protect. She was a big public charge in her stay here.
Talk to me.

Voters have known about them for decades.
GWB was part of the problem as HE kicked open the Somali access door.
