Qui-Tam
The False Claims Act's qui tam provisions (31 U.S.C. § 3730) allow private citizens to enforce against fraud on the United States, sharing 15-30% of any recovery — structurally inverting the normal citizen-government enforcement relationship
The False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, lets private citizens ("relators") sue on behalf of the federal government for fraud against federal programs and keep 15-30% of recoveries. Over $5 billion recovered in FY2024. Genuine private enforcement of public claims under operative federal law — Exit 6 in commercial dress.
