Trump doj settling false claims - qui tam potential?

Anonymous
If trump administration settles false claims filed by the proud boys - or similar entities- making completely fraudulent claims - can individuals file qui tam false claims? Generally, qui tam suit by individuals are in government contracts false
Claims contexts. (And individual bringing action can recover like 25% of false claims). But if doj is handing $100 million to criminals and agreeing to false facts -I would think it is a fraudulent scheme to defraud the USG/Treasury/tax dollars that someone could challenge. And unlike all the other circumstances - individuals have standing to challenge false claims. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qui_tam - Qui tam - Wikipedia

If they actually settle with the Proud Boys, yes, that is something to consider.

Trump's vanity is endless but the federal government should be smarter than that. Pam Bondi is really dumb so might actually move forward on this. SMH

Nobody did this when they paid the Central Park Five.

Central parts were innocent/exonerated.
Convicted felons even if pardoned does not mean the conviction no longer exists.

And I think gov officials who sign off on fake settlement with proud boys might be named defendants if it is all a scheme to defraud the government. Hmm - will even faux-doj want that liability? 🤔. False Claims act provides treble damages.
