Exposing fraud on the part of businesses that defraud the government is an important job as companies that defraud often affect many different types of entities as well as people. If you decide to report such fraud, you may be subject to retaliation in the form of firing or demotion, even though the law states that your employer cannot retaliation against you.

Unfortunately, reality says otherwise. Your employer could demote or fire you, leading to a loss of income while the legal suit against your employer awaits.
