Michael,
Excellent presentation. Great illustration. But I wonder about one thing. In the usual course of events, company finds out about unlawful activity. Takes remedial action. Stops conduct, fires offending employees. But if there is a whistleblower involved, isn’t there a danger that your efforts to convince the whistleblower not to go to the authorities, despite the fact that you have done everything to put an end to the illegal conduct and are under no duty self-report, could not be considered an obstruction of justice. How to finesse this may be a topic for further discussion or an article.

“to self-report”
“could be” not “could not be”
