In truth, whistleblower laws protect very few.
Signed, an ex-whistle blower.

Yep, sounds like the Federal court lacked jurisdiction.

Probably send them to the company headquarters in “Ireland”.

And yet US citizens are still required to pay federal taxes even if they live outside the US, don't see why whistleblower protections couldn't still apply when the company in question is headquartered in the US.

So you can be charged for violating UA law but US law can't shield you?
That's a crock

US whistleblowing laws are a sham whose only real purpose is to ensnare whistleblowers.

Really so US courts realized US laws do not apply in other countries?

Not sure whether "ex" means formerly, or not, but if so: Thank you for your service, in all honesty. The world needs more of such bravery, and it's unacceptable that it comes at such a cost.

Yep. Back in the late 90s. I worked for an insurance company that sold illegal products in Texas. I told the Texas Dept of Insurance, lost my job (the Texas DOI actually reported me), was blackballed from the industry (fortunately, I found my way into marketing), and was told by the Texas DOI that my complaint was not a priority.
Good times.
But now I'm an author; I work for myself, make my own hours, and answer to no one... okay, few. (lol) But it's all good!

US law applies where there's a US nexus and it's advantageous to American elites.
It doesn't apply where disadvantageous, or when a foreign country has strong sovereignty

As long as there are us nexuses like using USD US laws can apply.

Man fuck the Texas government. I'm glad you're doing well but I really wish some heads would've rolled from that.

Believe me, so did I back in the day. But it was a lesson I had to learn.

my company wants us to comply with usa fraud rules usa financial rules (dodges frank?) etc, while I certainly don't live in USA

Either they want to be listed on the NYSE, or they have some other reason to choose to do it. The US couldn’t force it however.

That’s kind of obvious, US minimum wage law, OSHA etc doesn’t apply overseas either…
