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

What will your honor allow you to do?

Does the illegal action defraud the taxpayer?
Is the illegal action strictly for personal gain?
does the illegal action put joe's health and welfare at risk?
Yes to any of the above and I would report

I need to tread lightly here; but if the action was taken to protect the health and welfare of joe....

I would offer three words of advice.

Working KBR in Iraq our Camp Supervisor was meet at the airport in the states by US Marshals for theft and fraud with the funds on contracts. In the beginning there it was all you can get with some spending their own money at the Haji shop for tools and materials. Our Travel Office had two women who were buying the tickets for all but were putting the charges to their airline miles card, over a couple million each. They were fired. A West Point Captain in charge of the fuel point was caught selling fuel to Iraqis and Court Martialed. One KBR employee used his money he got monthly to pay his employees in a company there working for KBR. KBR found out about this and told him he could not do this and he was fired. He presented them with a $1 million dollar invoice. Military and KBR wasted a lot of money.

Give them a heads up to make sure they understood their errant ways. If no change to their behavior and repair what they have done, document, and call the IG.

There is a 1 800 number, can't remember what it is, but I sure you can find it somewhere on post.

No brainer. Report him. Did it in the military. Did it in civilian life as well. Did it far too many times sadly enough, although once is too many. Consequences were mostly successful outcomes. One was a draw. I felt good, because I, in every occasion, discussed my perception first before I went forward. I didn't blindside them, so they saw it coming. It is what it is. They could have handled it differently. Some stood their ground; others chose not to do so. Actions have consequences.

I tried reporting wrongdoing in a unit I was in and got retaliated against to the fullest. I was up for promotion and passed up. They withheld per diem money from me when I was TDY and I fought their decision and they lied to the investigator and I was not paid. The whole situation made me sick due to the stress put on me. I felt I was walking on egg shells until I was transferred out and was able to breath again. Prior to retiring, I filed an IG complaint on the leadership of the unit. Idoubt anything was done about their fraudulent activities.

"what would you do"? Does that question really need to be asked?

There’s two separate questions here: crime and fraud, waste, and abuse. In either question you must have as much hard evidence as possible before you make a charge.

A crime such as theft of Government property should be reported to law enforcement. Make sure they understand you want to be a confidential source for fear of reprisals.

Fraud, waste, and abuse are normally reported to the IG. Again make so sure you tell the IG that you want to be anonymous due to fear of reprisals.
