Stephen Kohn Discusses Whistleblowing on Federal Drive
Listen to the interview on Federalnewsradio.com
The IRS paid former banker Bradley Birkenfeld $104 million for reporting fraud at his company. But what did the government get for its money? In Birkenfeld’s case, his former employer Swiss banking giant UBS agreed to pay $780 million and to turn over information on Americans with secret accounts. The IRS has recovered $5 billion in back taxes and penalties so far. Steve Kohn is Birkenfeld’s attorney and he discusses whether whistleblower rewards are worth the money.
