In Whistleblower cases we see the word 'Qui Tam' used a lot, but what does it mean?

It is actually an abbreviation of the Latin phrase 'qui tam pro domino rege quam pro sic ipso in hoc parte sequitur' which translates as “who as well for the king as for himself sues in this matter.”

Since we don’t have a king in the United States, qui tam in the False Claims Act context is shorthand for a private citizen who brings a lawsuit in the name of the government to recover for sums taken from the government.

On January 29, 2026, the Department of Justice’s Antitrust division announced its first ever award, $1 million, in the Antitrust Whistleblower program. The whistleblower in this case provided DOJ information that led to criminal antitrust and fraud charges through a deferred prosecution agreement against EBLOCK corporation, an online auction platform for used vehicles. As part of the settlement, EBLOCK agreed to pay a $3.28 million criminal fine.

“This is an important enforcement effort showing how whistleblowers can help the government uncover complex schemes that may otherwise go undetected,” Kate Scanlan, a whistleblower lawyer with Keller Grover LLP in San Francisco, said, adding: “This scheme, which violated our Antitrust laws, was generating illegal profits by making used cars more expensive for average Americans.”

The Antitrust Whistleblower program was announced by DOJ in July 2025. Whistleblowers who voluntarily report original information about antitrust and related offenses that result in criminal fines or other recoveries of at least $1 million may be eligible to receive a whistleblower reward. Whistleblower awards can range from 15 to 30 percent of the money collected. For more information on the Antitrust Whistleblower Rewards Program, including a link to submit reports, visit www.justice.gov/atr/whistleblower-rewards.

Keller Grover has decades of experience in antitrust litigation and a long history helping whistleblowers expose wrongdoing. Our experienced whistleblower attorneys can help answer questions about this new program and how to submit whistleblower claims to DOJ.

For the first time, DOJ’s FY 2025 report included recoveries on judgments currently on appeal. This represents a departure from previous reporting practices, which only reported actual funds recovered.
Judgments that are under appeal are not final. If appellate courts reverse (or modify) those judgments, the original judgment amounts will not be paid to the government, and DOJ’s reported recovery figures will need to be adjusted retroactively.

More whistleblowers are coming forward with information about fraud each year, as evidenced by the increased number of qui tam filings. Not all these cases will result in intervention. The FY 2025 data, even accounting for appeals uncertainty, indicates that whistleblowers who forge ahead with non-intervened cases are contributing meaningfully to fraud recovery.
