Answer: civil penalty not less than $5,500 and not more than $11,000 plus three times the amount of actual damage to the government resulting from any violation of the FCA. If convicted, the individual shall be fined, imprisoned, or both. If the violations resulted in death, the individual may be imprisoned for any

term of years or for life, or both.
