Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent Announces MASSIVE Cash Rewards for Insiders Who Expose Government Fraud – Promises 10-30% Cut to Blow the Whistle!

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has just declared open season on government waste, fraud, and abuse. The message to the swamp is clear: We are coming for you, and we are paying your colleagues to help us do it.

On Friday, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the launch of a new whistleblower initiative aimed at rooting out fraud, money laundering, sanctions violations, and abuse of government benefits.

As part of the program, Treasury will establish a dedicated website where whistleblowers can confidentially submit information about financial misconduct and taxpayer-funded fraud operations.

“Treasury is strengthening the fight against fraud, money laundering, and sanctions violations. Today, [Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)] launched a webpage to confidentially accept whistleblower tips, which may lead to financial rewards,” Treasury Department announced on X.

In a statement, Bessent said, “President Trump has been clear that Americans have a right to know that their tax dollars are not being diverted to fund acts of global terror or to fund luxury cars for fraudsters. At Treasury, we follow the money. We did it with the mafia, we have done it with the cartels, and we’re doing it with the Somali fraudsters. We are going to offer whistleblower payments to anyone who wants to tell us the who, what, when, where, and how this fraud and money laundering has occurred.”

But here’s where things get serious.

Bessent made it clear that this is not just another bureaucratic “report it and forget it” program. Americans with inside knowledge of fraud will now have a direct financial incentive to expose wrongdoing:

“We are encouraging whistleblowers who know about fraud—people who are stealing from the American taxpayer—to come forward. At Treasury, we’re setting up a website, and we will be giving rewards of up to 10% to 30% of the fines that we levy.”

That means individuals who provide actionable intelligence that leads to successful enforcement actions could walk away with a massive payday, potentially receiving between 10% and 30% of the fines imposed on those defrauding American taxpayers.

According to Treasury officials, the initiative will be administered through FinCEN’s Office of the Whistleblower and will focus on violations tied to the Bank Secrecy Act, U.S. sanctions programs, and other financial laws critical to protecting the integrity of the American financial system.
