The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, has launched a new dedicated web page to confidentially accept whistle blower tips on fraud, money laundering, and sanctions violations. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent announced that Treasury would provide financial rewards for eligible whistle blower tips.
In Minnesota, Secretary Bessent also unveiled a series of initiatives Treasury is undertaking to combat fraud, including investigating Money Services Businesses, enhancing reporting to accelerate prosecutions and recover laundered funds, alerting financial institutions to help disrupt fraud rings exploiting child nutrition programs, and training law enforcement to better leverage financial data to combat complex fraud schemes. In addition, the IRS will launch a dedicated fraud task force focused on targeting the misuse of funding by 501(c)(3) tax-exempt entities.
"President Trump has been clear that Americans have a right to know that their tax dollars are not being diverted to fund acts of global terror or to fund luxury cars for fraudsters. At Treasury, we follow the money. We did it with the mafia, we have done it with the cartels, and we're doing it with the Somali fraudsters," said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. "We are going to offer whistle blower payments to anyone who wants to tell us the who, what, when, where, and how this fraud and money laundering has occurred."
