## Resource

A whistleblower who spent eight years undercover helping dismantle a massive Venezuela-linked money laundering scheme says he’s been abandoned by the U.S. government—left without promised compensation, green cards for his family, and forced to flee to Europe after his visa expired. Despite prosecutors once declaring he wasn’t under investigation, they later pressured him to accept limited immunity. His lawyer warns that if the Justice Department doesn’t fix its broken whistleblower system, it risks losing vital insiders who expose corruption—because big payouts are what make people take the risk.
