Whistleblowers can often maintain anonymity, especially under programs like the SEC, CFTC, and IRS, which allow nearly complete confidentiality with legal assistance. For False Claims Act cases, the whistleblower’s identity is initially kept under seal during the government’s investigation. However, full anonymity is not guaranteed, as the identity may be disclosed if the government intervenes. It is crucial to work with an experienced attorney to navigate these processes and maximize the protections available, including measures against potential retaliation.
