United States Eleventh Circuit

Summary judgment to bank defendant-employer on a claim of retaliation for protected whistleblowing is reversed where a reasonable jury could find that defendant's decision-maker did know of plaintiff-s communications directly with the FDIC, and thus defendant's protected conduct could have contributed toward the decision to terminate him.
