Unfortunately, fraud against the government runs rampant.  U.S. taxpayers lose billions of dollars each year when the government is cheated by companies.  The False Claims Act and Qui Tam provision allow private citizens to bring a lawsuit against organizations defrauding the government. The name Qui Tam comes from the latin phrase "qui tam pro domino rege quam pro sic ipso in hoc parte sequitur" meaning "who as well for the king as for himself sues in this matter."

Many times the only way fraud is exposed is when insiders, such as employees or former employees come forward. Luckily, many whistleblowers have had the courage to step up and expose fraud in areas, such as, Medicare / Medicaid healthcare, government defense contracts, scientific research, environmental regulations, and TARP financial fraud, just to name a few.  Thanks to the courage of whistleblowers billions of dollars have been recovered for taxpayers so far.
