A bonded evidence registry for federal fraud.
Whistleblowers put skin in the game. Bad evidence gets expensive. Good evidence gets rewarded. DOJ gets cleaner signals.
The False Claims Act allows private citizens to report fraud against the government and share in any recovery. But DOJ gets flooded with low-quality tips, duplicate submissions, and noise. Good evidence gets buried. Whistleblowers have no way to signal credibility upfront.
Keytam creates a bonded evidence registry. Anyone submitting evidence must post a bond. If the evidence leads to DOJ action (follow-up, CID, intervention, or survival of a motion to dismiss), the bond is released and the submitter earns upside through qui tam recovery and prediction market payouts.
If the evidence is unused, duplicative, or low-signal, the bond is forfeited. Garbage submissions become expensive. Quality rises to the top.
Evidence bonds align incentives. Submitters only post when they believe in their evidence.
Prediction markets price procedural outcomes. Early price discovery without influencing DOJ.
DOJ gets front-loaded, high-quality evidence. No ceding of authority.
| Trigger Event | Bond Outcome |
|---|---|
| DOJ requests follow-up tied to evidence | Partial release |
| CID references evidence | Full release |
| DOJ intervenes | Full release + bonus |
| Complaint survives MTD citing evidence | Full release |
| No use after fixed time window | Forfeit |
| Evidence deemed duplicative | Forfeit |
Evidence is costly to submit. No more free shots.
Markets observe outcomes, never condition decisions.
Junk evidence has negative expected value.
Market + bond rewards precede case resolution.
