In Their Own Words -- Mizer
Posted December 16, 2016
— “Americans across the country are healthier, enjoy a better quality of life, and are safer because of our continuing success in protecting taxpayer funds from misuse…the qui tam provisions [of the False Claims Act] provide a valuable incentive to industry insiders who are uniquely positioned to expose fraud and false claims to come forward despite the risk to their careers. This takes courage, for which they are justly rewarded under the Act.”
Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division, commenting on the DOJ’s $4.7 billion in recoveries from False Claims Act cases in fiscal year 2016.
