The Justice Department’s Antitrust Division has announced a new Whistleblower Rewards Program, offering incentives to individuals to report “antitrust crimes and related offenses that harm consumers, taxpayers, and free market competition across industries from healthcare to agriculture.”
“The Whistleblower bar has a terrific history of fighting fraud and corruption. The recently announced antitrust whistleblower program presents a new opportunity. These practitioners may wish to enhance their likelihood of success by consulting with a firm which has extensive antitrust experience, including litigation against many Fortune 500 companies,” said Dan Mogin, Managing Partner at Mogin Law LLP.
Antitrust matters demand comprehensive expertise in demonstrating and linking complex covert corporate conduct to tangible and measurable economic impacts on competitors, consumers, and markets.
Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater likewise noted the difficulty in detecting secretive and complex antitrust schemes. The new program will create a “new pipeline of leads” from people with firsthand knowledge to help government attorneys build cases, she said. The Division positions the program as a partnership with the U.S. Postal Service, which praised the program.
