MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Sprint Commc'ns, Inc., 855 F.3d 985 (9th Cir. 2017):
2 If the relator prosecutes the action alone after the Government decides not to intervene, the statute prescribes a larger relator's share of 25 to 30 percent of the proceeds. Id. 3730(d)(2). The bulk of the proceeds still goes to the Government, which is the real party in interest in all FCA actions, whether or not it intervenes. U.S. ex rel. Killingsworth v. Northrop Corp., 25 F.3d 715, 720 (9th Cir. 1994).
