The "qui tam" (whistleblower) lawsuit was kept under seal and unknown to the public until today when a federal judge approved the settlement and the Justice Department announced it.
The Relator, Bruce Moilan Sr., was represented by Nolan and Auerbach, P.A.. Partner Marcella Auerbach offered high praise for the work done by the government team on the case, particularly Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Bobb, Department of Justice Senior Trial Counsel David T. Cohen as well as Keshia B. Thompson Sr. Counsel, Office of Counsel to the Inspector General and Susan Arenella Assistant Attorney General, Office of Attorney General for the State of Texas, Attorney General's Civil Medicaid Fraud Division. "AUSA Andrew Bobb and the team of government lawyers and investigators did a superb job pursuing this case in an efficient and effective manner. We hope that Mr. Moilan's courage and determination is duly recognized, and will serve as an encouragement to others who are deciding whether to move forward with a qui tam lawsuit or are currently participating in one. This is an example of the type of impact a whistleblower can have if he is willing to bring critical information forward and demonstrate the courage of his convictions," Auerbach said. Whistleblowers (http://www.whistleblowerfirm.com/about-the-law/whistleblower-rewards/) are entitled to 15 percent to 25 percent of the amount the government recovers as a result of their qui tam lawsuits. Mr. Moilan will receive a 20% percent of the $27.5 million qui tam settlement as a reward for the information he provided and the work he and his attorneys did on the case. Mr. Moilan will receive a relator share of $5.5 Million. In addition, his claim for severance, attorneys fees', costs and expenses have been resolved in a confidential settlement.
