A qui tam whistleblower, also known as a relator, plays a pivotal role in initiating qui tam lawsuit cases to expose whatever false claim was committed against the government. These individuals often possess insider information to report fraud, gained from their roles across different industries and positions such as healthcare, where cases of medical malpractice might involve fraudulent billing practices. Whistleblowers are typically current or former employees who have attempted to report or correct these issues. Their backgrounds can vary widely, encompassing financial services, procurement/defense contracting, scientific research, and government positions.
