If you found out your Leader or Immediate Supervisor was doing something against the law, like fraud, what would you do?

RP Members this is one of those questions that got lost back in 2016 that is still a great question.
What would you do about this situation? Would you turn them in or comfront them first?
Would you have rights if you were a "whistleblower" against your immeidate supervisor or leader?
How many have been faced with this situation and can you share your story with the rest of the RP Group (no names please)?

Ha, turned in my 1SG for drug seeking behavior and all I got to face were repurcussions.......for almost 4 months while on rotation in Germany.
Had a friend who was NCOIC of a specialty clinic at a large Army hospital. One of the doctors had a lucrative private practice off base, which was fine, but he was stocking it with supplies taken from the clinic on post. She reported it, he was told to remember to ask to "borrow" things, got reassigned and never saw another promotion. Fortunately she was a SFC and had enough rank to retire in a few years later.

It's called an integrity check. Blowback doesn't factor in, otherwise you're just as guilty.

I sprinkled several of my so called Military Leaders with certain obvious Facts, but their vanity refuses to Notice the obvious & the results on their part is devastating, but prior to this they made sure to Retaliate Against me. I've experienced this same scenario all throughout my Military journey and Noticed that there will always be someone trying to get over on the next person, especially if you're an officer.

I actually just left my job due to this. My boss’s moral compass did not point in the same direction as mine.
My direct supervisor was a VP who was extremely close friends with a contracted staff member (like, going on vacations together). She would constantly try to get her friend more work in our program, without even looking at other contractors. The situation came to a head when one of the other contractors asked for a rate increase at his contract renewal. He wasn’t asking for anything exorbitant, and he does outstanding work so it was really a no-brainer. The first thing my boss wanted to know was if we were going to offer the same increase to her friend. Her pretense was that “we can’t pay a man more than a woman to do the same job.” However, this was never even mentioned with the other positions which use contractors, male and female. As I dug more into the relationship, I found that the state agency we worked for had removed the contractor from full-time employment in the program because she was using her private business to funnel business to the organization and vice versa.
The worst part being that my boss saw absolutely nothing wrong with what she was doing, despite the fact that people have gone to prison for doing exactly that.

Notify CID.
Everyone has one of these stories. And they all end the same way: everyone gets what's coming to them.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs MIKEL!!!! How you been Sir? How is the VR Site going? Now for my answer to the question above I would Report Him/Her (since I've had Both Male and Female CO's) To the Higher authorities Depending on where they were in the Chain of Command would dictate which Big Dog I would report them to.

LCpl Steve Smith we had to shut down the VR Site because of health reasons and we transitioned it to the "Warriors for Life" Virtual Group Support - been going for about 4 years altogether now.

We have support groups almost every night of the week where anonymously or not, you can participate from the comfort of your own home, your own space via a video conference bridge... and you don't have to turn on the video - you can just listen or talk, or both!
