As a result of the False Claims Act, whistleblower cases under the FCA, also known as Qui tam lawsuits, have increased.  More recently, typical whistleblower cases involve large corporations, Wall Street, and pharmaceutical companies. The largest whistleblower settlement in history occurred in early 2009 when pharmaceutical giant, Eli Lilly & Company agreed to pay $1.4 billion in civil and criminal penalties based on the illegal and fraudulent marketing of its prescription drug Zyprexa. The whistleblowers were former Eli Lilly employees and under whistleblower laws, they were protected from:

    * harassment, termination or demotion during the government’s investigation;
    * awarded a significant share of the money recovered from Lilly; and
    * remained anonymous for their protection.
