Whistle Blower Goes to Jail?
It would be great to get clarification on this. I heard this on AM 950 today on my way home from the bank.
So this guy Bradley Birkenfeld, who found out that all these millionaires are commiting tax fraud by storing money in a UBS Bank in Switzerland. Well he calls these guys out and turns in tons of records, do we give him a heros reception... no. we put him in jail for 40 months.

Can anyone shed some light on how this works?
The worst part about this is the people that are wanting to blow the whistle on illegal dealings for the company they work for are going to look at this as "well crap if i say something im going to jail... forget that"
