By the time you read this, a new U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) pilot program providing financial rewards to whistleblowers may already be underway. As I write this in late May, DOJ is in the midst of what is called a 90-day “sprint” towards developing all the parameters of the program announced by Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco on March 7.^[1]

This pilot program, which will launch later this year, will be separate from the Voluntary Self Disclosure for Individuals pilot that began in April, which is designed for individuals with criminal exposure to come forward with the potential incentive of a non-prosecution agreement.
