Plain-English Summary

This bill would create a financial rewards program that pays people who help the U.S. government recover stolen assets hidden by corrupt foreign officials and their associates. Similar to whistleblower programs in other areas, it would incentivize individuals with inside knowledge to come forward by offering them a share of the money recovered, making it more likely that stolen funds get returned to their rightful countries. The program targets money laundering and corruption schemes where foreign leaders and their networks stash ill-gotten gains in U.S. banks and investments.
