Because it's a nearly risk-free way for someone to get very rich. If you could say "my old boss, who I didn't like, was bad at his job" and have a chance to get rich doing it, you would. You would do it if you thought you might be able to make an argument that your boss did a bad job. The chance to get rich induces bias.

I don't understand why the potential value of the settlement casts any shade on the whistleblower.
I was not commenting on fake whistleblowers doing it in an attempt to trash a company's reputation.
