In about 2011, I had a whistleblower case with my partner at the time alleging Medicare fraud and violations of the Stark Law. We met with the government and tendered it to them for prosecution, which they ultimately declined, and the case pretty much ended.

I have no idea why, but I just got an order from the court that it’s been reopened. Yet another thing I didn’t have on my bingo card for this year. #law #QuiTam

The government had little means to investigate or prosecute so it instituted legislation encouraging private citizens to turn in defrauders.
