Pelopor awalnya adalah [[False Claims Act|''False Claims Act'']] tahun 1863. Pada tahun 1934, [[unsur (hukum pidana)|persyaratan]] tentang [[mens rea|intent]] untuk menipu dihapuskan. Undang-undang ini bertujuan untuk menuntut dengan sukses, berdasarkan [[National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933]] (NIRA), para produsen "[[Hot Oil case|minyak panas]]", yaitu minyak yang diproduksi dengan melanggar pembatasan yang ditetapkan oleh NIRA. Pada tahun 1935, NIRA dinyatakan inkonstitusional oleh Mahkamah Agung dalam ''[[Panama Refining Co. v. Ryan]]'' dan ''[[A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States]]''.
