Bradley Birkenfeld's Windfall: Will LinkedIn list "whistleblower" as job category experiencing growth?

Conventional wisdom used to be that the snitch wound up in the ditch.  That might not longer hold. 

Former UBS banker Bradley Birkenfeld, who had served two years in prison for helping a client evade taxes, is richer by $104 million.  That's his share of the what the IRS has collected from tax frauds with his help.

It could well develop that whistleblowing will become a job category that experiences significant growth.  LinkedIn, which tracks such phenomena, will catch every bit of that upward trajectory.  Until recently being a whistleblower was downright scary business.
