Daniel, if what you've alleged is true, then of course it's not ethical. That's the whole point of filing a whistleblower suit. But did I misunderstand that you are willing to drop your suit if you are rehired? Will those you have charged with crimes not then avoid prosecution? Is that ethical? Do you not then become their accomplice? I understand you have financial obligations to provide for your family but do you understand how malleable your ethics appear to be? The optics are that you will not be a willing party to unethical conduct, but your silence can be bought.
