Whistleblower Case Evaluation · Alexandria, VA · Est. 2013

The federal government pays real rewards for reporting fraud. Almost nobody knows how the process actually works.

FCX evaluates whether your information about securities fraud, tax fraud, or fraud against government programs qualifies for an SEC, CFTC, IRS, or False Claims Act reward, organizes your evidence, and connects you with an experienced whistleblower attorney to actually file the case.

What Most People Don't Know

These aren't theoretical rewards. The SEC alone has paid out nearly $2 billion.

Under the Dodd-Frank Act, SEC whistleblowers can receive 10 to 30 percent of sanctions collected above $1 million. IRS whistleblowers can receive 15 to 30 percent of collected tax proceeds. False Claims Act relators can receive 15 to 30 percent of the government's recovery in fraud cases involving federal programs. As of the end of fiscal year 2023, the SEC's program alone had paid almost $2 billion to whistleblowers — money that came from sanctions collected, not from harmed investors.
