Regardless of whether or not you pursue this strategy it may be worth consulting an attorney. You know what's more legally precarious than blowing the whistle? Having kept quiet before someone else blows the whistle.

If you're pretty for down the totem pole you're probably safe, but awareness of fraud without exposing it can very often leave you legally liable. If you're in any kind of leadership position you could be one of the people that end up taking the fall.
