She has no financial interest in any of this, no motive other than wanting the truth out. But more than anything, she wants it to be over.
I think whistle blowers get 10% of whatever is collected.. and would that number be? I think she is doing the right things as what happened was shameful,(community banks are the place to bank) but she does have some skin in the game.
I'm surprised she has not been bought out already. I'm guessing the bank are not talking numbers like 90 million, she can always take there drop back and punt money but for now she is going for the gusto.
More than 10%. Didn't Chase pay $9 Billion. She could have a claim for 2-3 of that!!
Under the Civil False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3733, private whistleblowers can recover treble (triple) damages and substantial penalties from persons and companies that cheat, steal, or defraud the government and receive as a reward, a percentage of the financial recovery. This provision helps encourage people to assist the government in stopping fraud despite the sacrifice and impact whistleblowing might have on their jobs and personal lives. The whistleblower's share (15 to 30 percent) is calculated upon the amount the government recovers, not the actual losses. Rest assured that Sheller, P.C. whistleblower attorneys work closely with whistleblowers to protect their personal reputation, career and peace of mind.
