Law

This bill extends a federal program that pays rewards to people who provide information about money stolen by corrupt foreign government officials. It moves the program out of its experimental phase and makes it a more stable part of U.S. law.
The program targets "kleptocracy," which is when leaders use their power to steal their country's wealth. The U.S. uses tips from whistleblowers to find and seize assets like expensive real estate, private jets, or hidden bank accounts bought with stolen money.
Under this new plan, the program would be authorized to run for another seven years. This gives law enforcement a long-term tool to track down complicated international money-laundering schemes that often take years to solve.
By offering financial incentives to people who speak up, the government aims to uncover corruption that would otherwise stay hidden. This helps ensure that stolen money can be identified and kept out of the U.S. financial system.
