Bracha Graber (1949-2017) Whistleblower
New York Times July 19, 2017

Graber worked for New York State Child Welfare Administration, which she accused of claiming tens of millions of dollars in federal reimbursements that it had not been entitled to.  After fruitlessly confronting her bosses and outside investigators with evidence of the fraud, she filed suit and litigation by the Justice Department litigated the matter.  Entitled to a substantial sum of the ultimate penalty, Graber used $380,000 of her entitlement to establish a foundation to deliver music, art, dance and other cultural experiences to children in foster care.
