Abstract: Among those instrumental in the exposure of corporate scandals like Enron and Tyco, were whistleblowers like Sherron Watkins.

Time magazine's selection of three women whistleblowers as 'Persons of the Year' in 2002 brought into fore several lesser-known cases of whistleblowing.

While the media made heroes of these men and women, most of them had to pay a heavy price for standing out of the pack. The case illustrates three cases of whistleblowing: Sherron Watkins of Enron, Russel Hayes of CMC and Barron Stone of Duke Energy Corp.
