Mary Inman, a whistleblower attorney with over two decades of experience, told OCCRP on Wednesday that this new program could potentially serve as a “real game changer in anti-money laundering enforcement.”
The program, she said, resembles the one launched in 2012 by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has since paid out over half a billion dollars to more than 100 whistleblowers who’ve helped net the government several billion in penalties that it would not have otherwise obtained.
