CBS-Featured Whistleblower and Lawyer Release Series of YouTube Videos

Legal

A whistleblower and lawyer featured by CBS News just released a series of YouTube videos designed to help other whistleblowers report fraud. On July 27, 2018, the CBS Whistleblower series featured the gripping tale of James Holzrichter, a whistleblower represented by Chicago lawyer Michael I. Behn. Holzrichter fought Northrop in a case that lasted more than 16 years, and resulted in Northrop paying $134 million to resolve claims of fraud brought by Holzrichter and pursued by Behn. Watch the show at www.bit.ly/BehnLawyerOnCBS.

Behn and Holzrichter sat down recently to discuss their experiences during the Northrop case and their thoughts on whistleblowing. The resulting YouTube series covers topics all potential whistleblowers should know: how to find an attorney, how to help the government investigate your case, and how to prepare for a deposition.

In the first episode, Behn and Holzrichter discuss what it means to be a whistleblower and how the public perceives whistleblowers. Watch it at www.bit.ly/WhistleblowersInPublic. In the second episode, they discuss preparing for whistleblower depositions.  Watch it at www.bit.ly/DepPrep.

“Jim tells it like it is, because he’s been there,” said Behn, a former federal prosecutor who has been representing whistleblowers for decades. Holzrichter’s case against Northrop claimed that company’s Chicago-area facility had cheated the government on contracts to build radar jammers for the B-2 Stealth bomber, the F-15 Eagle fighter, and other military aircraft.
