Thus isn’t 30%.

The Fed gets $250MM, and he gets an unlisted percent of that amount.

He’s not getting $250MM.

The rest seems to be going to the states.

That's not correct, have a look at the relator share agreement: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ma/press-release/file/1538256/d...
Oh wow. Ok I stand corrected. Wonder if they will pay.
