华盛顿，2月13日（路透社） – 美国财政部周五宣布推出一个新网站，接受针对欺诈、洗钱和违反制裁行为的举报线索。此举是在明尼苏达州发生一起涉及联邦社会福利项目资金的丑闻之后推出的。
财政部长斯科特·贝森特在一份声明中表示，如果举报线索促成成功的执法行动，财政部将向举报人提供奖励。

“这将是揪出浪费、欺诈和滥用行为的绝佳途径，”贝森特在接受CNBC的《Squawk Box》采访时表示，“我们正在建立一个网站，并将提供高达我们征收罚款10%至30%的奖励。”
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普一直抨击明尼苏达州庞大的索马里移民社区，以明尼苏达州的这起丑闻为理由，下令向中西部州派遣数千名移民执法人员。
打击欺诈的举措
特朗普政府已将矛头指向明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹和该州，包括其8万人口的索马里社区，指控自2020年起，一些由联邦资金支持的非营利组织在管理该州儿童保育和其他社会服务项目时存在欺诈行为。
贝森特上月访问明尼苏达州，公布了几项打击欺诈的举措，包括对货币服务企业的调查、加强金融机构的报告和预警机制。
美国国税局也将成立专门的欺诈工作组，重点打击501(c)(3)免税实体滥用资金的行为。
财政部表示，美国财政部金融犯罪执法网络（FinCEN）的举报人办公室将接受涉及违反《银行保密法》、美国制裁项目以及其他几项对维护美国金融体系和国家安全至关重要的法律的违规和共谋行为的举报。

US Treasury sets up website for whistleblower tips on fraud, money laundering
February 13, 2026 3:18 PM UTC / Reuters
WASHINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters) – The U.S. Treasury Department on Friday announced a new website to accept whistleblower tips on fraud, money laundering and sanctions violations, on the heels of a scandal involving federal funds intended for social welfare programs in Minnesota.
In a statement, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Treasury would offer rewards to whistleblowers if a tip resulted in a successful enforcement action.

“It’s going to be a great way to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse,” Bessent told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “We’re setting up a website and we will be giving rewards up to 10% to 30% of the fines that we levy.”
U.S. President Donald Trump has railed against Minnesota’s large community of Somali immigrants, invoking the Minnesota scandal as the rationale for sending thousands of immigration enforcement agents into the Midwest state.
INITIATIVES TO COMBAT FRAUD
The Trump administration has singled out Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and the state, including its 80,000-strong Somali community, over allegations of fraud dating to 2020 by some nonprofit groups backed by federal funding that administer the state’s childcare and other social services programs.
Bessent visited Minnesota last month to unveil several initiatives to combat fraud, including probes of money services businesses, enhanced reporting and alerts to financial institutions.
The Internal Revenue Service will also launch a dedicated fraud task force focused on targeting the misuse of funding by 501(c)(3) tax-exempt entities.
Treasury said FinCEN’s Office of the Whistleblower will accept tips involving violations and conspiracies related to the Bank Secrecy Act, U.S. sanctions programs, and several other laws critical to safeguarding the U.S. financial system and national security.
