Whistleblower Partners represented Dr. James Taylor in one of the cases behind DOJ’s $556M settlement with Kaiser Permanente over Medicare Advantage risk adjustment practices. Read our blog for a full breakdown of the case and what it means for enforcement and whistleblowers.

Super important victory for taxpayers and the healthcare system. Congrats to all my colleagues who made this happen!

"The report describes a kind of doom loop of AI dependence, where students increasingly off-load their own thinking onto the technology, leading to the kind of cognitive decline or atrophy more commonly associated with aging brains."

Incredibly proud of my colleagues and our client for this record-breaking risk-adjustment case. I’m lucky to get to work with the best.

Proud to represent physician whistleblower Dr. James Taylor, 1 of 2 #whistleblowers behind DOJ’s landmark $556M settlement w/ Kaiser Permanente over alleged #Medicare Advantage risk adjustment fraud. It is the largest Medicare Part C risk adjustment settlement ever. whistleblower.law/our-successe...

Extending an olive branch to give the crypto industry some free lobbying advice - don't give quotes to media that admit the language you got in the last piece of legislation is, in fact, bad. www.coindesk.com/news-analysi...

Can't stop thinking about this

As we close out 2025, we are grateful to the #whistleblowers who trusted us to help expose fraud and drive accountability. From client impact to #policy wins, litigation, and public advocacy, this year reaffirmed why whistleblowers matter. We’re energized for more in 2026.

These govt contractors, used by ICE and others, appear to be owned by the same PE company that owns, among other investments, "security, compliance and video software" for schools.

🚨BREAKING🚨 I just released the full report on Congress trading in 2025. Like every year since 2020, some politicians beat the market. Many had unusual trades. Some had huge gains. Here are the top political traders of 2025.

There we go. That there’s a headline.

MYTH: Whistleblowers are too quick to run to the press with their grievances. FACT: Almost all whistleblowers raise issues internally first, and resort to public disclosures after employers ignore their concerns. Learn more about whistleblowing in our free resources ⬇️ whistleblower.org/resources/

A side story is there’s a ton of insider trading on these prediction markets. New accounts making hundreds of thousands on their first and only trade, that maduro would be ousted. Seems like insider trading is legal if not encouraged on these platforms

As in all conspiracies, there’s the tiniest grain of truth here — daycare centers are sometimes money laundering vehicles (FinCENs latest report on Chinese ML networks has good info here). But that small amount of truth is so dangerous when combined with this blatant racism and vigilantism

The thing that is so idiotic about the Kushner-Witkoff approach to Russia—that business deals can solve all!—is that... we tried this already. It was called the 1990s. And all it did was enrich Russia, entrench corruption, and set the stage for Russian neo-imperialism. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

I talked to @h-lev.bsky.social @motherjones.com about crypto scams. Subtext, as always, is how similar these scams are to traditional investor scams and thus how insane it is to watch the SEC deny jurisdiction

Bank of America first started offering credit cards to women in 1974

@poppyalexander.whistleblower.law was quoted in a @motherjones.com investigation on influencer-driven memecoins and crypto fraud. She explains why these schemes often resemble classic pump and dumps, where early insiders profit and others lose. Read more:

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Banks are making AI data center loans and then pitching synthetic risk transfers to shift some of the risk to private credit. This is an obvious thing supervisors should be keeping an eye on, and yet I don't have much confidence they are. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"Metacognitive processes are necessary to comply with Rule 11" is a phrase I expect litigators to start using as a diss on opposing counsel immediately

Morality and legality aside (making no comments there), this feels like a next level extension of the terrifying growth of buy now, pay later services and the equivalent -- risky bets now with delayed consequences now extending into future generations.

ICYMI: The UK just took a major step against serious tax fraud. HMRC will now pay rewards up to 30 percent in cases recovering over £1.5M, effective immediately. This shift moves the UK closer to US-style programs and is likely to draw stronger, higher-quality tips.

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

Any individuals with information about any misstatements the contractors may have made to get the contracts could be eligible for a whistleblower award under the False Claims Act

people who say confiscitatory top marginal tax rates depress top-earners’ productivity have clearly never listened to Exile on Main St.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Again, this needs to be understood as an anti-whistleblower position. All state AI laws so far are actually whistleblower protections. DOJ -- which depends on whistleblowers for so many of their successful investigations -- needs to understand the implications of any such position

Given that most state-level AI regulation efforts so far are actually just whistleblower protection bills for AI industry folks, this fight needs to be understood as a fight for states' rights to provide additional whistleblower protections

ICIJ and its #CoinLaundry media partners interviewed 45 victims of crypto scams on four continents. In most cases, the funds from the alleged scammers’ wallet addresses were channeled to accounts at major exchanges, including Binance, OKX, HTX and Bybit. www.icij.org/investigatio...

In the 1960s and '70s, the city of Portland seized and destroyed homes in the neighborhood of Central Albina, a thriving Black community, under the guise of "urban renewal". This case, brought by twenty-six Black survivors and descendants of families whose homes were destroyed, settled this June.

Who reads this story and doesn’t take away that there’s a reason we have securities regulators and limits on leverage and complex financial instruments is honestly beyond me apple.news/Aw0-WGu_0RWe...

The SEC has released its annual exam priorities, the first under Chairman Atkins. Notably absent are references to cryptocurrency and the booming private credit market. While the list omits the SEC Whistleblower Program, the agency continues to rely on #whistleblower tips to guide enforcement.

You don't often see this at the end of a whistleblower story:

Every word of this just makes me furious www.icij.org/investigatio...

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

I read the financial press too often. I need to get a life. Time to learn the banjo, etc. Meanwhile, I was wondering what Cathie Wood was up to after not seeing her in every headline every day for a long time. This is a fun one. Start at the bottom.

Last year, I wrote a warning to the AI companies rushing into defense contracting that there was little thing called the False Claims Act and maybe they should learn a little about it before they see US taxpayers as an endless source of cash. Anyway www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/b...

This is essentially the same story told by the Panama Papers of 2016, the Paradise Papers of 2017 & the Pandora Papers of 2020. Nearly 7TB of data on released on wealthy people, mostly men, doing terrible things at scale & facing no consequences:barely any prosecutions, miniscule # of convictions.

Our top story: “Bitcoin miners in general, if you map out across the United States, this is my opinion, are taking advantage of small rural communities that don’t have the wherewithal to fight back.”

A new draft crypto bill from Senate Ag is out. I have explained what an incredibly ignorant definition this is, over and over. It's a good proxy for how serious the drafters of this bill are. Google docs are cryptographically secure digital ledgers. www.agriculture.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
