What is the real reason for the complex whistle blower rules?
Whistle blowers abound, both at home and abroad, and have many reasons to report on your actions to anyone and everyone. In today’s internet world, our behavior outside our country can be instantly communicated to people in our home countries and to people in the country where we work. This forms a double edge sword as corrupt people can pressure you to do things their way in their country if you break our laws or theirs. Also, people from our country working in Third World Countries can report our misdeeds to companies, press or law enforcement back home. Illegal activities on the part of expatriates can start them on the slippery slope to a very unhappy future owned by other people.
