BOSTON, May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Whistleblower Law Collaborative LLC is now
representing whistleblowers in emerging new practice areas
including cryptocurrency fraud,
anti-money laundering and sanctions evasion, and cybersecurity
fraud. The award-winning Boston based firm
representing whistleblowers nationwide celebrated its
20th anniversary in 2023, continues its thriving
practice under the False Claims Act and other whistleblower
programs such as that of the SEC which has helped the federal and
state governments recover over $6.8
billion.
Several members of the firm recently attended The
Anti-Fraud Coalition's Financial Frauds Conference in
Austin, Texas. There they joined
nearly 100 members of the whistleblower community from across
the country. Also in attendance were officials from the
SEC, FinCEN, CFTC, and DOJ. Each agency shared its current
enforcement priorities to combat financial fraud,
with a particular focus on cryptocurrency
fraud, sanctions evasion, and money laundering
violations. Several of the government officials used the conference
as a forum to roll out brand new initiatives, such as
the CFTC's effort to combat fraud in voluntary
carbon offset markets and DOJ's recently announced whistleblower
rewards program.
This week David
Lieberman will be speaking at the American Bar
Association's 34th National Institute on Health Care
Fraud. His panel will explore False Claims Act
Developments, current litigation, and settlements. The conference
will focus on current legal and ethical issues which arise in
connection with the enforcement of health
care fraud matters.
Bob Thomas is looking
forward to attending the Boston Bar Association's White Collar
Crime Conference on May 2. This
unique event brings together defense counsel, government
prosecutors, qui tam counsel, and judges to
discuss recent cases and practice developments.

speaking at the Central New York False Claims Act Symposium in

McKesson May Change How AKS-Based FCA Claims Are Pled. This
