birkenfeld2

 "Defendant Birkenfeld['s]... substantial assistance has been timely, significant, useful, truthful, complete and reliable." (Department of Justice, August 18, 2009). The DOJ also admitted that "but for Mr. Birkenfeld [the UBS] scheme would not have been discovered by the U.S. government." Bradley Birkenfeld commenced serving a three-year and four-month sentence in federal prison on January 8, 2010, a direct result of blowing the whistle on one of the largest tax fraud schemes in U.S. history.

Bradley Birkenfeld filed his official clemency petition on Tax Day, April 15th. Your support is urgently needed! Take action by clicking here.

Sibel Edmonds

Ms. Edmonds worked as a language specialist for the FBI's Washington Field Office. During her work with the bureau, she discovered and reported serious acts of security breaches, cover-ups, and intentional blocking of intelligence that had national security implications.
Available to speak

After she reported these acts to FBI management, she was retaliated against and ultimately fired in March 2002. Since that time, the Congress of the United States has been gagged and prevented from any discussion of her case through retroactive re-classification issued by the Department of Justice.

As a former FBI agent and President of the National Security Whistleblower Coalition, Sibel Edmonds is available to speak about blowing the whistle on national security issues.
