Array Says Whistleblowers Shouldn’t Be Able to Sue Under False Claims Act

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2026 – Federal judges should find that whistleblowers can’t sue for fraud under the False Claims Act, Array Digital Infrastructure argued Thursday. 

An AT&T subsidiary has made a similar argument, and three conservative Supreme Court justices have signalled they’re open to it.

Array, which went by UScellular until it sold its wireless operations to T-Mobile, told a U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia judge that she should dismiss a fraud suit against the company partly because the whistleblowers bringing the suit shouldn’t be able to sue in the first place.
