Sherry Hunt, who came forward about the corporation’s actions in a whistleblower case was awarded $31 million.
Hunt is quoted in the report as stating of being hopeful that others will be inspired to come forward in similar positions, “I want people to know they can come forward…If I can do it, they can do it.
