Time Line of Dr. HufnagelVictim of Retaliation for Whistle Blowing: Qui Tam - RICO A Study in Whistle Blowers
Dr.Vikki Hufnagel -Quick Overview: Late 70's/Early 80's
Books have been written and
movies made of conspiracies and cover-ups. Some examples are The Constant Gardner, The
Insider, Karen Silkwood, and Erin Brocovk. These real events when presented to us cause us
to be outraged and fearful. Our hearts jump a beat and we say, "gosh, that really
happened". At the end of these movies we feel a
sense of relief that the conspiracy or wrongdoing was exposed, that the story was told,
and that the wrongdoers were stopped or punished.
When comparing past conspiracies and cover-ups no two stories are the same. The real life events and the circumstances surrounding each event are unique and different depending on the people involved and the industry, but all have one thing in common, there is a whistle blower. What makes us fearful is we see what tactics the wrongdoers take in retaliation to the whistle blower. One such story, which has not yet been published or made into a movie, is that of Dr. Vikki Hufnagel. Her story is unlike any story you will ever hear of and she is unlike any other person you will ever meet.

The RICO laws can be alleged in cases where civil lawsuits or criminal charges are brought against individuals or corporations in retaliation for said individuals or corporations working with law enforcement, or against individuals or corporations who have sued or filed criminal charges against a defendant. Anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) laws can be applied in an attempt to curb alleged abuses of the legal system by individuals or corporations who utilize the courts as a weapon to retaliate against whistle blowers, victims, or to silence another's speech. RICO could be alleged if it can be shown that lawyers and/or their clients conspired and collaborated to concoct fictitious legal complaints solely in retribution and retaliation for themselves having been brought before the courts.
