The Supreme Court made it harder Tuesday for whistleblowers to share in the proceeds from fraud lawsuits against government contractors. Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the Court, said that retired engineer James Stone was not an original source of the information that resulted in Rockwell International, now part of aerospace giant Boeing Co., being ordered to pay the government nearly $4.2 million for fraud connected with environmental cleanup at the now-closed Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant.
