Need more information about the "cash issues." What do you mean by "issues?" What type of business is this? ILicensed, regulated industry? Is it a publicly traded company? These are questions that need to be answered in order to determine if you have whistleblower protection under the various statutes and common law available.
You need to shcedule a consult with an employment attorney. Sit down with them face to face.
