The pharmaceutical industry is no stranger to corruption. Doctors often seek bribes or kickbacks to prescribe medication, especially when dealing with generics or biosimilars. Biogen operates in some of the most corrupt countries in the world, and it is no surprise that Biogen is currently under investigation by both the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding their operations in foreign countries. 

In its annual report, Biogen did not disclose details on what the investigations related to, but only stated that it had received a subpoena from the DOJ and was providing documents to the SEC regarding its operations in foreign countries. Anybody with experience with investigations involving pharmaceutical companies knows that this likely means that Biogen is under investigation for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). The FCPA prohibits companies like Biogen from paying incentives or bribes to doctors in order to prescribe medication, but this practice is widespread in the industry. 

However, there is good news for employees who have witnessed bribery or corruption at Biogen and want to do the right thing. The U.S. government has opened a rewards program which allows Biogen employees to report bribery and corruption anonymously and claim a reward for doing so. The program pays an average of $5 million dollars to whistleblowers who provide information in successful cases, and in the past, whistleblowers who have come forward have received over $100 million in rewards. Participation in the program is free and you can participate anonymously if you use an attorney. Even if you have already reported your information to Biogen, you must also report to the SEC if you want to claim a reward.

If you’ve witnessed misconduct at Biogen, now is the time to do the right thing and speak up safely with the help of the attorneys at FBR. Speaking to a qualified attorney is free and confidential, the first step is to take FBR’s online whistleblower evaluation:

The SEC Whistleblower Rewards Program

The possibility of rewards comes from the SEC Whistleblower Rewards Program. If you haven’t heard of it, that’s probably because most companies do not want you to know about this program. The program allows employees (from any country) to report anonymously to the SEC and claim a reward for reporting. Even if you already reported misconduct internally at Biogen, you can still claim a reward provided you act quickly and report to the SEC as well. Time is of the essence when it comes to claiming a reward as the program has strict deadlines for reporting and claiming a reward.  Only the first person to report information gets credit for it, so if you don’t act quickly, someone else could claim your reward.

How Do I Report?

Reporting is easy if you use an award-winning whistleblower law firm like FBR, which you can do for free. FBR is a whistleblower law firm in New York that has already helped clients all over the world report millions of dollars in fraud and corruption. FBR provides confidential consultations for free to help you figure out if you could claim a reward and represents numerous clients from outside the U.S. In addition, if FBR offers you representation, we operate a no-win no-fee basis, which means if you don’t win a reward, you pay nothing and get the representation for free. Using the experienced attorneys at FBR will help ensure that you can report quickly, correctly and anonymously. If you want a free, confidential, consultation with our experienced whistleblower attorneys, click here, to get in touch. Alternatively, you can take the award-winning Online Whistleblower Evaluation at the end of this article to get quick answers on whether you are eligible for a reward.

Even if you’re not interested in reporting to the SEC, it’s important that you speak to a lawyer so have enough information to make an informed decision. Reporting in the wrong way or to the wrong person can affect your legal right to be protected from retaliation, your ability to bring a lawsuit against the company and your ability to claim a whistleblower reward. An experienced whistleblower attorney can show you the correct procedure for reporting, ensure you respect legal rules and company rules. Given that consultations are provided for free and covered by the attorney-client privilege, there is no sense in waiting for someone else to claim your reward. Speak to one of our experienced whistleblower attorneys here or that our award-winning online whistleblower evaluation at the bottom of this page.

Can I Report Anonymously?

Yes, provided you use an attorney licensed in the U.S. you can report anonymously to the SEC. This means your attorney can ensure that your identity is never publicly revealed, even if you win a whistleblower reward.

Who Is Entitled To Rewards?

The program is open to people from any country and there is no requirement that you work for Biogen. People who work for contractors, subsidiaries or suppliers can also participate. The main exclusions from the program are lawyers, who typically cannot qualify for rewards. In addition, people who work in compliance or internal audit are eligible, but must follow special procedures when reporting. If you fall into any of these categories, we highly recommend speaking with an attorney.

What If I Was Involved In The Misconduct?

Even people who were involved in the misconduct can report it to the SEC and claim a reward.  However, participating in the rewards program does not guarantee immunity. This is why you should speak to an attorney before reporting. There is no substitution for experienced legal advice.

What Type of Conduct Can I Report?

FBR helps clients report bribery or corruption, often known as violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). FCPA violations have resulted in some of the largest rewards and that is our focus. If you have information on a possible FCPA violation, you should contact us now.

Honda sells vehicles to government agencies in some of the most corrupt countries in the world. This business carries a significant risk that Honda employees are asked or required to pay bribes in order to make sales.  

However, there is good news for employees who have witnessed bribery or corruption at Honda and want to do the right thing. The U.S. government has opened a rewards program which allows Honda employees to report bribery and corruption anonymously and potentially claim a reward for doing so. The program pays an average of $5 million dollars to whistleblowers who provide information in successful cases, and in the past, whistleblowers who have come forward have received over $100 million in rewards. 

If you’ve witnessed misconduct at Honda that may have violated the FCPA, now is the time to do the right thing and speak up safely, and anonymously with the help of FBR. Speaking to a qualified attorney is free and confidential, the first step is to take FBR’s online whistleblower evaluation:

The SEC Whistleblower Rewards Program

The possibility of rewards comes from the SEC Whistleblower Rewards Program. If you haven’t heard of it, that’s probably because most companies do not want you to know about this program. The program allows employees (from any country) to report anonymously to the SEC and claim a reward for reporting. Even if you already reported misconduct internally at Honda, you can still claim a reward provided you act quickly and report to the SEC as well. Time is of the essence when it comes to claiming a reward as the program has strict deadlines for reporting and claiming a reward.  Only the first person to report information gets credit for it, so if you don’t act quickly, someone else could claim your reward.

How Do I Report?

Reporting is easy if you use an award-winning whistleblower law firm like FBR, which you can do for free. FBR is a whistleblower law firm in New York that has already helped clients all over the world report millions of dollars in fraud and corruption. FBR provides confidential consultations for free to help you figure out if you could claim a reward and represents numerous clients from outside the U.S. In addition, if FBR offers you representation, we operate a no-win no-fee basis, which means if you don’t win a reward, you pay nothing and get the representation for free. Using the experienced attorneys at FBR will help ensure that you can report quickly, correctly and anonymously. If you want a free, confidential, consultation with our experienced whistleblower attorneys, click here, to get in touch. Alternatively, you can take the award-winning Online Whistleblower Evaluation at the end of this article to get quick answers on whether you are eligible for a reward.

Even if you’re not interested in reporting to the SEC, it’s important that you speak to a lawyer so have enough information to make an informed decision. Reporting in the wrong way or to the wrong person can affect your legal right to be protected from retaliation, your ability to bring a lawsuit against the company and your ability to claim a whistleblower reward. An experienced whistleblower attorney can show you the correct procedure for reporting, ensure you respect legal rules and company rules. Given that consultations are provided for free and covered by the attorney-client privilege, there is no sense in waiting for someone else to claim your reward. Speak to one of our experienced whistleblower attorneys here or that our award-winning online whistleblower evaluation at the bottom of this page.

Can I Report Anonymously?

Yes, provided you use an attorney licensed in the U.S. you can report anonymously to the SEC. This means your attorney can ensure that your identity is never publicly revealed, even if you win a whistleblower reward.

Who Is Entitled To Rewards?

The program is open to people from any country and there is no requirement that you work for Honda. People who work for contractors, subsidiaries or suppliers can also participate. The main exclusions from the program are lawyers, who typically cannot qualify for rewards. In addition, people who work in compliance or internal audit are eligible, but must follow special procedures when reporting. If you fall into any of these categories, we highly recommend speaking with an attorney.

What If I Was Involved In The Misconduct?

Even people who were involved in the misconduct can report it to the SEC and claim a reward.  However, participating in the rewards program does not guarantee immunity. This is why you should speak to an attorney before reporting. There is no substitution for experienced legal advice.

What Type of Conduct Can I Report?

FBR helps clients report bribery or corruption, often known as violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). FCPA violations have resulted in some of the largest rewards and that is our focus. If you have information on a possible FCPA violation, you should contact us now.

Good news for employees at Novartis who want to do the right thing: A U.S. law allows employees to report misconduct anonymously and claim million-dollar rewards for doing so. Employees are entitled to rewards under U.S. law because Novartis has stock listed in the U.S., and misconduct by the company can affect investors.  As a result, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) opened a program that lets employees report misconduct anonymously and claim rewards for doing so.

Who Is Entitled To Rewards?

The program is open to people from any country and there is no requirement that you work for Novartis. People who work for contractors, subsidiaries or suppliers can also participate. The main exclusions from the program are lawyers, who typically cannot qualify for rewards. In addition, people who work in compliance or internal audit are eligible, but must follow special procedures when reporting. If you fall into any of these categories, we highly recommend speaking with an attorney.

What If I Was Involved In The Misconduct?

Even people who were involved in the misconduct can report it to the SEC and claim a reward.  However, participating in the rewards program does not guarantee immunity. This is why you should speak to an attorney before reporting. There is no substitution for experienced legal advice.

Good news for employees at Thermo Fisher who want to do the right thing: A U.S. law allows employees to report misconduct anonymously and claim million-dollar rewards for doing so. The law is important now more so than ever because Thermo Fisher is potentially under investigation by U.S. regulators. 

Employees are entitled to rewards under U.S. law because Thermo Fisher has stock listed in the U.S., and misconduct by the company can affect investors.  As a result, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) opened a program that lets employees report misconduct anonymously and claim rewards for doing so. 

Employees reporting other companies have been paid an average of $5 million dollars by the SEC for doing the right thing and speaking up. In the past, whistleblowers who have helped the SEC with ongoing FCPA investigations have received over $200 million in rewards. If you’ve witnessed misconduct at Thermo Fisher or any of its subsidiaries that you think violated the FCPA, now is the time to do the right thing and speak up. If you’re interested in learning whether you would qualify for a whistleblower reward from the SEC, take our free, anonymous, award-winning online evaluation: 

The SEC Whistleblower Rewards Program

The possibility of rewards comes from the SEC Whistleblower Rewards Program. If you haven’t heard of it, that’s probably because most companies do not want you to know about this program. The program allows employees (from any country) to report anonymously to the SEC and claim a reward for reporting. Even if you already reported misconduct internally at Thermo Fisher, you can still claim a reward provided you act quickly and report to the SEC as well. Time is of the essence when it comes to claiming a reward as the program has strict deadlines for reporting and claiming a reward.  Only the first person to report information gets credit for it, so if you don’t act quickly, someone else could claim your reward.
