A very interesting read. I would say that there is a different culture to whistle blowing in the US than in most other countries. There is a tendency to reward whistleblowers out of the funds received from fines from successful prosecutions. I would argue that this changes the dynamic for a whistleblower, in that if a case is successfully proven. Those who raised the grievance can feel safe in the knowledge that any repercussions which could follow can be managed with cash in the bank.

It can focus the corporate culture around governance and leadership knowing if a wrong is reported and not dealt with internally. I could be dealt with externally, whilst there maybe a personal cost to the person who raised it there is the potential to be rewarded financially.(https://lnkd.in/dgY6NDt)

Obviously that goes both ways for false and legitimate claims.
