Sticking to the tight schedule it set in March, the DOJ’s new Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program (WAPP) went live on August 1, 2024. The Anti-Corruption report spoke with both defense and whistleblower counsel about the nuances of the program. This first article in a two-part series examines the WAPP’s limitation to cases involving forfeiture and the surprising fact that some culpable individuals can receive awards. Part two will take a look at who is ineligible to receive awards, exceptions to ineligibility rules and other interesting elements of the program.
