Title: Trump and Vance to announce a $25M whistleblower program to encourage public to report alleged fraud
What about insider trading by government officials?

Gifts from entities needing government approvals or under investigation?

Buying and selling of stocks in the same time frame as negotiation or pressure campaigns related to the same businesses?

Business deals with leaders of foreign countries arranged during diplomatic visits?

I am going to make $ millions when they release those hotlines!

Somehow I don't think that is the information they're after.
If it includes themselves being party to it, would they change the legality of it. They have legalized many things that were illegal I believe.

Such as:

- gifts to politicians

- self directed crypto

- Snyder v. United States renamed bribes as gratuities LOL and now its legal!

1% reward, up to $30K, sounds kind of low, especially considering the enforcement is likely to be politically biased.

For tax evasion, the IRS will reward whistleblowers 15-30% of the amount recovered. People have gotten millions of dollars.
