New report on SEC enforcement in FY2026 shows activity is down: 92 actions vs. 225 average in 2018–2025. The Oct 2025–Nov 2025 government shutdown partly explains the drop, but overall enforcement is declining. Coincidentally, actions against individuals rose to 54% of actions.
Two years ago, a group of us took a leap to build a boutique firm focused on whistleblowers. As we celebrate our second anniversary, we’re grateful for the journey. In New Orleans, we reflected on teamwork, like jazz, each strength matters. Thank you to our clients & community, just getting started!

DOJ’s report on FY2025 FCA settlements highlighted major Medicare Advantage enforcement efforts, including cases by our team. DOJ noted a $98M settlement w/ Independent Health resolving allegations of risk-adjustment fraud raised by our WB client Teresa Ross, underscoring vital role of WBs.
FY 2025 set a record for #whistleblower activity with 1,297 qui tam suits filed, a 32% increase over last year. One was our client Teresa Ross’s case. #Health care fraud drove 84% of FCA recoveries, restoring billions to Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE. Medicare Advantage remains a top DOJ priority.
@maryinman.bsky.social joined the Great Women in Compliance Podcast for a roundtable on what really happens when women speak up. With Lisa Fine, Ellen Hunt, and Prof. Kate Kenny, they explore gender, retaliation, and how women often report wrongdoing together rather than alone.
As we close out 2025, we are grateful to the #whistleblowers who trusted us to help expose fraud and drive accountability. From client impact to #policy wins, litigation, and public advocacy, this year reaffirmed why whistleblowers matter. We’re energized for more in 2026.
@maryinman.bsky.social returns to the @financialtimes.com #podcast Behind the Money with @mtindera.ft.com to discuss the benefits of whistleblower rewards to fight financial frauds in the UK, a timely topic in light of HMRC’s new US-style whistleblower reward program for serious tax dodging.
@maryinman.bsky.social joins the @financialtimes.com #podcast Behind the Money with @mtindera.ft.com to unpack why #whistleblowers in the UK historically face long delays, weak protections, and serious personal consequences, and how the US system offers a different model. Listen here:
ICYMI: The UK just took a major step against serious tax fraud. HMRC will now pay rewards up to 30 percent in cases recovering over £1.5M, effective immediately. This shift moves the UK closer to US-style programs and is likely to draw stronger, higher-quality tips.
Transparency must come before trust in AI. Whistleblower Partners signed a letter in partnership with AI Whistleblower Initiative urging Congress not to preempt state AI #laws, which would erase key protections for AI whistleblowers. Read the full letter here: t.co/e2d2ypwz7q
The IRS Whistleblower Office’s FY 2024 Report shows major progress: 105 awards granted, average processing time cut to 48 days, and over $7.3B recovered since the program began. #Whistleblowers remain key to exposing #tax fraud and protecting taxpayer funds. www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/...
@maryinman.bsky.social joined The Roca News Show to discuss the tragic death of OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji, the risks of unchecked AI, and why whistleblowers must be protected and valued. Watch a clip here or the full interview on YouTube: youtu.be/ZF8w8geL9nk
The #IRS Whistleblower Program paid $123.5M in awards in FY 2024, up nearly 40% from last year. Whistleblower Partners is proud to contribute to this momentum. Contact us for a confidential consultation.

Momentum is building in Africa for #whistleblower reward programs. Senegal passed a law protecting #whistleblowers and offering up to 10% of recovered illicit funds. It joins Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, and Rwanda in adopting such incentives. Read more here: www.ecofinagency.com/news/0109-48...
On Sept 16, whistleblower @reazlepuff.bsky.social publishes I Am Not Your Enemy. Prosecuted under the Espionage Act, she served the longest sentence ever for leaking docs. Her story underscores the profound personal toll of whistleblowing. #whistleblower #memoir
Last Friday, Aug. 29, marked the 20th #anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. It was a day to remember lives lost and forever changed. It’s also a reminder that fraudsters exploited relief efforts, and #whistleblowers played a key role in exposing and stopping the fraud.
Labor Day is a time to reflect on the hard work, courage, and resilience of workers everywhere. We’re grateful for our clients who continue to advocate for fairness and accountability in the workplace. Have a happy Labor Day from all of us at Whistleblower Partners.
