Oh, really, it's "safe" to be a whistle-blower with this government? Tell that to Bradley Manning who is being tortured by the same gang of parasites.

Report non-crimes to the state, get 104 million. Report actual crimes, get tortured in prison and held indefinitely without a trial.

Meanwhile, this same whistle-blower was imprisoned by the DOJ for years.- ChrisThe IRS awarded the largest whistle-blower award in history — $104 million — to a former banker who gave information that helped expose a $20 billion offshore banking scheme, the recipient’s attorneys said Tuesday.

Bradley Birkenfeld, the whistle-blower, “provided information on taxpayer behavior that the IRS had been unable to detect,” the agency said in granting the award.
