Under the statute, individuals are awarded a percentage of the money the government recovers as a result of their successful whistleblower lawsuits. The False Claims Act dates back to the Civil War when, in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln and the Congress enacted this law to combat defense procurement fraud in which unscrupulous defense contractors were billing the Union Army for dead mules, boots with soles that had been glued on, rather than stitched (and were coming apart in the rain and mud), and gunpowder that had been salted down with sawdust. President Abraham Lincoln knew the federal government lacked the “insider knowledge” needed to uncover sophisticated schemes of fraud against the federal treasury. As a result, Lincoln wanted a law that would reward insiders who came forward with their private attorneys to disclose the fraud and prosecute it.
