We have a new Treasury Anti-Money-Laundering Whistelbower program!
On January 1, Congress passed the whistleblower provision of the Anti-Money Laundering Act. The Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Act is a section of the yearly National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which distributes funds to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and became law when Congress overrode President Trump’s veto of the bill.
The purported goal of the AML Whistleblower Act is to incentivize individuals to blow the whistle on money laundering to the Department of Treasury. The Act is largely modeled off previous legislation which established successful whistleblower rewards programs, such as the Dodd- Frank Act (DFA) and the False Claims Act (FCA). The AML Whistleblower Act rules that whistleblowers who provide “original information to the employer of the individual, the Secretary, or the Attorney General, as applicable” that leads to a “successful enforcement of the covered judicial or administrative action” can receive a whistleblower award of up to 30% of the money recovered.
