Part 61: Whistleblower Protections & Why They Matter

Part 61 of the Justice DIY series explains Whistleblower Protections and why they matter for victims of fraud.

Whistleblowers perform a critical service by exposing fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. But powerful institutions often try to silence them. That’s why laws like the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA) and the Dodd-Frank Act were created. These laws guarantee confidentiality, protect against retaliation, and ensure whistleblowers can safely report wrongdoing.

In this episode, I explain:

The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989, and its later amendments in 2012 and 2017.

How the SEC protects whistleblowers under the Dodd-Frank Act.

Why retaliation is prohibited, and how the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) investigates such cases.

How these protections apply to fraud victims fighting corporations like AWS.

Whistleblower laws are not optional — they are enforceable. If retaliation occurs, it becomes a new violation of law. This ensures victims can keep speaking out and exposing misconduct without losing their rights.
