From decisions on small business fraud to interpretations of the reverse FCA, 2017 was another busy year for False Claims Act developments. In a "Feature Comment" published in The Government Contractor, C&M attorneys highlight top developments from 2017 on key issues such as original source requirements, DOJ’s potential dismissal of meritless qui tams, statistical sampling, and perhaps most significantly, the continued evolution of the case law in the wake of the Supreme Court’s landmark implied certification and materiality decision in Escobar.

On August 19, 2025, the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance (“Senate Finance Committee”) sent Paul Atkins, Chairman, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a letter calling on the SEC to investigate White River Energy Corp (“White River”). In the letter, the Senate Finance Committee confirmed a criminal investigation into White River related to the sale of so-called “tribal tax credits” that according to both Congress and the IRS, do not exist. The letter further states that White River allegedly earned millions of dollars selling these credits and has not been forthcoming with investors regarding the existence of the criminal investigation. According to the Senate Finance Committee, White River has failed to file financial disclosure documents with the SEC since March 15, 2024, missing six consecutive reporting periods. The letter instructs White River to disclose the existence of the DOJ criminal tax investigation, and calls on the SEC to take action if White River fails to do so.
