And the IRS whistleblower program results just get weaker and weaker. 10.8 YEARS average time to pay. The total results for the programs 14 years history ($6B) represent one good year for the False Claims Act. More people cheat…lnkd.in/gr7EHRe lnkd.in/gF63sq8

Dean Zerbe's article describes one of the ways the cards are stacked against tax whistleblowers. THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE. The IRS Whistleblower Office's pipeline contains 3,600 claims that are ten years old. These claims were fil…lnkd.in/g5fr-b8 lnkd.in/gBcq585

This is essential reading for every corporate lawyer and business leader. It’s the definitive whistleblower book. Any MBA, law or accounting grad that hasn’t internalized the message is missing the world’s most powerful tool for (i…lnkd.in/gjjS2sM lnkd.in/g6A5dJG

Don’t cry for Cleta. The world will beat a path to her door: a loyal lawyer with flexible morals. Being caught on tape being treasonous is embarrassing but not fatal to her career. It’s not like she did something unforgivable like whistleblowing. lnkd.in/gaf_eAZ

The best thing you can say about the guy who destroyed GE: they can’t prove fraud. Using two jets for business trips looks bad. Repeated fraudulent accounting on his watch looks bad. Massive shareholder losses and being removed from the Dow looks bad... lnkd.in/gkgjNzf

Once again, corporate America learns the cost of not listening to internal voices of dissent (whistleblowers). But, as always, the shareholders will pay the price - not management. So future management groups will likely do it again. lnkd.in/gMcEC66

I’m surprised there isn’t a boycott all things Trump movement. No hotels, no golf, no clubs... If there was any doubt before, it’s clear now: the brand means violent racists. It means thugs who beat innocent police officers while chanting “USA.” Who wants to support that?

The #IRS should not be a joke. It is a serious part of being a civilized country. Yet, try saying the following to a friend, and see if you get a sarcastic or funny reply, "I called the IRS for help." The IRS is broken. Its systems are bad. I applie…lnkd.in/gixu7S7

So much for Democrats being meaningfully different from Republicans. Government Sachs is the same corrupt revolving door as Trump’s Treasury Secretary. Apparently, we elected a guy who is merely better than Trump. I was hoping for more. lnkd.in/gf5SJGD

Soooo, here’s yet example of the powerful getting away with crime. I guess rapist Harvey Weinstein is worse than the biglaw partner who helped hide his rapes. But not by much. When is the money no longer worth what you do to get it? Total scumbag. lnkd.in/ghV3PHJ

...preferences of the average American have a minuscule, near-zero, statistically nonsignificant impact upon public policy ...lawmakers respond exclusively to the moneyed interests – those with lobbying prowess and deep pockets to bankroll campaigns. lnkd.in/gcj9KsV

The frustrating part of this story is the incompetent military bureaucrats will get more resources. The moral of the story isn’t to militarize DC. It’s to send the guilty to jail. Discourage future insurrection. Don’t destroy what you are trying to save. lnkd.in/gkHCDMP

This is a must read article. Epstein funded his pedophile lifestyle selling tax shelters. Any tax advice where the promoter is paid a percentage is a tax shelter by law and must be registered with the IRS. Whistleblowers could have stopped this. lnkd.in/gH_88w3

The IRS and US mail service are broken. I sent a letter to the IRS on November 10, 2020. I used the USPS tracking service. Yesterday, March 29, 2021, I received confirmation that it was received. That's a 4 1/2 month round trip. Yet the IRS has asked…lnkd.in/gsQrCkr

Boycott Coke and Delta - until they do something meaningful about the obvious and cynical move to turn back voting rights in Georgia. lnkd.in/gJUN_bH

This makes one thing crystal clear. Companies have one value: make money. The CEOs caved under pressure and did the right thing. That’s good. But it shows they won’t do the right thing without pressure. Keep the pressure up. lnkd.in/gmdzctr

Fighting whistleblower retaliation by promoting whistleblower anonymity is like fighting anti-semiticsm by asking Jews to keep their religion a secret. #whistleblowing
