Given that this website is obviously vibe-coded, do we know if the stats are legitimate? $100bn in fraud uncovered in 18 months for a single government department seems high.

Gov announced a new program to award $30k to whistleblowers who present fraud evidence. The chat bot flow is garbage but I went ahead and reported some fraud I’m aware of.

It starts at the top, was this in your report?

This is also how we build a society where people fear their friends, family, and neighbors. Having a tattle tale society is right out of 1984 and what North Korea practices. Is this really the future we want?

Ironically, the current administration is chasing real whistleblowers from inside the government, in order to punish them for "leaks" - it's apparently a matter of perspective. Whistleblowers should go to congress, not the president, and should be protected - from the president.
