Why These Programs Matter: When traditional bug bounties don't exist or fail to address systemic fraud, government accountability programs provide mechanisms for independent researchers to document evidence of financial crimes, securities violations, and cybercriminal activity. These programs incentivize rigorous fact-finding and protect consumer interests through rewards tied to successful enforcement actions.
| Program | Max Reward | Focus Area | Evidence Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🎯 Rewards for Justice | $10M | International Cybercrime | Attribution + Infrastructure |
| 💰 SEC Whistleblower | 30% of Recovery | Securities & Crypto Fraud | $1M+ in Harm |
| ⚖️ DOJ Asset Forfeiture | Up to 25% | Criminal Asset Recovery | Seizure-Ready Evidence |
| 🔍 FBI Cyber Division | $3M | Cyber Criminal Networks | Actionable Intelligence |
| 🌐 CFTC Whistleblower | 30% of Sanctions | Market Manipulation | DeFi/Smart Contract Analysis |
| 🎯 FinCEN SAR Program | $5M | AML/KYC Violations | Transaction Pattern Analysis |
| 🛡️ IRS CI Division | 30% of Recovery | Tax Evasion | $2M+ Unreported Gains |
📋 Evidence Standards & Preparation Guidelines
Government programs require evidence that meets legal standards for enforcement actions. Here's what distinguishes strong submissions:
Required Analysis:
- Transaction graphs with cluster attribution
- Cross-chain activity mapping
- UTXO-level analysis for Bitcoin
- Smart contract decompilation reports
- MEV/sandwich attack calculations (DeFi)
Tools & Formats:
- Chainalysis/TRM/Elliptic compatible reports
- CSV for transaction lists
- JSON for API data dumps
- SHA-256 hashes for all files
- Complete chain of custody documentationStrong Attribution (Multiple Sources):
- KYC documents + wallet links
- Social media + transaction timing
- IP addresses + exchange accounts
- Communication logs (encrypted channel IDs)
- Pattern analysis across platforms
Weak Attribution (Insufficient):
- Single data point
- Circumstantial timing alone
- Blockchain addresses without identity
- Speculation without verificationQuantifiable Harm:
- Exact dollar amounts (not estimates)
- Victim count with evidence
- Transaction-by-transaction breakdown
- Profit calculations for perpetrators
- Market impact analysis (manipulation cases)DO:
- Document everything with timestamps and hashes
- Calculate financial harm precisely
- Show ongoing or future violations
- Use court-admissible evidence standards
- Consider legal representation for large cases
DON'T:
- Submit publicly available information
- Mix evidence from unrelated cases
- Provide insufficient attribution
- Forget to preserve original evidence
- Discuss active investigations publicly
When conducting investigative research:
- Use Tor/VPN for sensitive intelligence gathering
- Maintain encrypted backups of all evidence
- Document any threats or retaliation attempts
- Consider attorney work product privilege
- Understand jurisdiction and legal protections
