In the context of the False Claims Act, a whisteblower is an employee or other insider who discloses illegal conduct or other prohibited activities of a business. The False Claims Act is a federal law (with many state counterparts, including one in Massachusetts) that creates significant financial incentives for insiders to disclose illegal or prohibited conduct.
