Confidentialty Agreements DO NOT protect anyone under such a contract if they are in receipt of information or concealing information that may be connected to illegal acts. Anyone under such an agreement may become susceptable to any lawful instrument, especially obstruction of justice if they fail to present facts when approached by an authority. This is an indictable offence under many laws. There are whistleblower programs that offer a degree of immunity, but as always, it is best to come forward BEFORE you are approached by any authority.
