"Richard Bagley doesn't sound like someone who just hit the jackpot. Last week [June 9, 2003], he became one of the nation's wealthiest whistle-blowers when Northrop Grumman Corp. agreed to settle a case he and the Justice Department brought against TRW Inc., and the department awarded him $27.2 million....But he didn't pop any champagne when he learned that, after nine grueling years, he had finally won his case." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article reveals how many whistle-blowers must endure extreme personal sacrifice with little reward for their efforts, leading some to question whether it's worth the trouble.
