If one compares the financial rewards and employment protections for whistleblowers in the federal system to the S.C system, one quickly realizes there is little incentive to stick one’s neck out to be a whistleblower in this state. You could uncover a financial fraud that could lead to a recovery of 200 million dollars for the State, and all you would get is a couple thousand bucks, if that. Under the federal system, you can get 10-30%, with no cap – you’d be looking at 20 million, minimum.
The Attorney General can and does reward lawyer legislators with multi-million dollar cases. You can be sure the Sen Massey’s bank account is about to get a lot more money.
The good ole big network is alive and well.
This stuff is a clown show for public consumption. The real deals are made far from the public eyes. It does not matter the cast of characters that hold the reigns of power, they are just as dirty as the previous bunch of clowns.
Maybe if the public were to use some “enhanced interrogation” like Gitmo we could at least make these people feel the pain the deserve.
