This chapter examines the kind of whistleblowing that is advocated by offering rewards to whistleblowers. The first section points at the link between our focus on efficiency and our growing unease with fraud. The second section discusses whistleblowing as a source of information in that context. The third section comments on the US False Claims Act. The fourth section points out some pitfalls of rewarding whistleblowers. I conclude in a balanced way, recognizing both the bright and the dark side of rewarding whistleblowers but generally warning it is not the panacea.
