Again, thank you very much.
Regarding the culture, the most obvious example is the U.S.A. They have been the leaders in this. There is a lot of wrongdoing that goes on in the U.S., but there's a lot of right that goes on there as well. One of them is that there is a strong counter-power. Philanthropists in the States don't just give to the arts, ballet and music; they give to these causes. I worked in Washington long enough to see the billionaires who came forward and were giving to GAP and to other great causes.
What changed the culture in the States? In 1986 the Challenger exploded and in mid-air seven people were incinerated. What we learned after that was that engineers had warned against that launch, but it was political to launch it. Reagan wanted to launch it. What did the people do? They flooded congressmen's and senators' inboxes with outrage. That really was the transformative period when it was no longer okay to ignore whistle-blowers. Things weren't perfect, because they would pass laws—and Tom drafted most of them—and then they would immediately step in and create loopholes.
However, there has been a real change. I saw it at GAP when I was there. There were a number of things, like drugs that were killing people, the environment and nuclear plants that were poisoning people and got shuttered. Snowden, whether you agreed with him or not, kicked off a debate about whether the government could, without warrant and without right, go in and start snooping on you.
Today, it is absolutely very risky for either government or private industry to ignore whistle-blowers. It's also very lucrative now, because there are lots of liability issues. With the False Claims Act in the States, lots of people are triggering it, and there are significant payouts being made. Let's be honest. Lawyers are doing lots of cases now, because they're participating via contingency fees in the payout.
The culture changed, because the public demanded it.
