“

He who acts for another ought not to be held to a stricter accountability than he who acts for himself — but neither shall fraud upon the treasury of a free people go unanswered.

The Spirit of the False Claims Act, 1863  ·  The Lincoln Law

The government cannot pursue every fraud. We help the ones who can.

The False Claims Act — Abraham Lincoln's 1863 "Lincoln Law" — allows private citizens with inside knowledge of fraud against the federal government to file suit on its behalf. These relators share in any recovery.

Yet most qui tam cases fail not because the fraud isn't real, but because relators lack the capital to sustain multi-year litigation. Lincoln Claims Bureau fills that gap.

We finance meritorious qui tam cases in exchange for a contractual share of recoveries — aligning our interests entirely with the relator's ultimate success.

Process

From Whistleblower to Recovery

I
Case Origination
Relators — employees, contractors, or insiders — identify fraud against a federal program. We evaluate the claim across legal merit, damages quantum, and relator credibility.
II
Underwriting
Our team conducts rigorous diligence alongside experienced FCA counsel. We assess government intervention probability, settlement ranges, and competitive dynamics.
III
Financing
Upon commitment, we fund attorney fees, litigation costs, and relator support expenses. Capital is deployed over the case lifecycle on a milestone basis.
IV
Recovery
Upon settlement or judgment, the Fund receives a contractual share of the relator's proceeds — after attorney fees and ahead of further distributions.

The Lincoln Law & Its Legacy

1861–65

The War Fraud Crisis

Defense contractors sold the Union Army spoiled food, defective rifles, and lame horses. Fraud against the Treasury threatened the war effort. President Lincoln sought a legislative remedy.

1863

The False Claims Act Signed

Lincoln signed the False Claims Act into law, introducing the qui tam provision — from the Latin "qui tam pro domino rege quam pro se ipso" — "he who sues for the king as well as for himself." Citizens could sue on behalf of the government and share in any recovery.

1986

The Modern FCA

Congress substantially strengthened the FCA, raising relator shares to 15–30%, adding anti-retaliation protections, and empowering the Department of Justice to intervene. The era of consequential qui tam litigation begins.
