Hi my names Tony Munter, I'm an attorney here at Price Benowitz and I want to talk today
about a report the Chamber of Commerce put out, about reforms to the False Claims Act.
You don't have to read the whole report there's a press release and a executive summary, and
it makes pretty clear that the reform the Chamber would really like is to destroy the law.
In the first page, they say that the law has been ineffective in fighting fraud. That's
pretty funny because everybody else I talk to thinks its the most effective law fighting
fraud in the history of The United States.
Its responsible for some 40 billion dollars collected by The United States so far. The
Chamber doesn't think its effective. Whats their solution? To weaken the law every way
they can possibly think of. I''ll be blogging on this subject over the next month, because
every single suggestion that the Chamber has is designed to weaken the law, and their trying
anything they can to take your right to fight fraud away from you by destroying the Federal False Claims Act.
