How much do you think they give back to the taxpayer when they issue a multi hundred million dollar fine or get a large settlement?

Haha that’s a rhetorical question you don’t need to answer. We all know it is 0.

The private sector commits fraud and the taxpayer pays the reward to whistleblowers? another racket made in America you've got to love paying your taxes. Don't understand why the guilty companies pay a fine from which a part is given to the whistleblowers
