A former UBS AG banker who is under home confinement for helping a wealthy client evade U.S. tax collectors will get a $104 million whistleblower reward from the Internal Revenue Service.

Birkenfeld was released from prison last month after serving more than two years on one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
