$1.3 Million Settlement Against Education Recruitment Company

Whistleblower Partners attorneys represented the whistleblower in a $1.3 million False Claims Act settlement against a recruitment company that targeted U.S. students wishing to study abroad in the United Kingdom. In 2024, the Government intervened in this matter. After two years of litigation, the parties settled the claims that the defendants had violated the “Incentive Compensation Ban,” a rule that prohibits the payment of per-student incentive payments to recruitment companies when those students receive student loans. This victory follows another successful Incentive Compensation Ban case brought by a Whistleblower Partners attorney. In this matter, the whistleblower received a Relator’s share of 18.5%.
