Announcement of Fraud Whistleblower Program

So today I'm thrilled to announce the Fraud Whistleblower

Incentive Program. Fraud Whistleblower

Incentive Program.

And, uh, mark those words.

Independent journalists and everybody and all Americans will now be able

to go to the fraud.gov and report cases of

corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities,

all via a new website created by Joe Gebbia,

who's fantastic by the way, and the team at the National

Design Studio. Everything Joe's done has been a big

success

for us. So here's what we're gonna be doing.

Anybody that can

prove that he turned somebody in, in other words he or she, if you turn

somebody in

and you, let's say, report and you

find a billion dollars,

we are giving a commission to that person of one

percent. It's a lot of money.

And if it's ten billion, two hundred billion, four

hundred billion,

uh, we're giving a one percent commission to

that person.

You have to prove that you were the one and prove that it was you.

And I don't know if you can do this, but subject to the laws of our nation,

which I

feel very strongly about,

if a reporter turns somebody in, you have to get approval perhaps from

your wonderful newspaper. But if you turn

somebody in, you get a one percent commission.

You may turn it down or you may say, "I'm not gonna be a reporter any longer.

This is too easy." So if a reporter turns somebody

in, we're gonna continue the same one percent.

So

if somebody turns somebody in for a million dollars, but a million dollars

is very

small potatoes,

you get a one percent commission

subject to the rules of the nation, subject to all of the things.
