The whistleblower provisions of the AML Act were modeled off those found in the Dodd-Frank Act, which established the highly successful SEC and CFTC Whistleblower Programs. The AML Whistleblower Program is therefore very similar to these previously established whistleblower programs.
Just like SEC and CFTC whistleblowers, AML whistleblowers may report anonymously and are entitled to monetary awards of 10-30% of the funds collected by the government if they voluntarily provide original information that leads to a successful enforcement action.
