During my time there I witnessed a lot of unethical behavior some of it illegal. Our division manager wants us to report anything that doesn't seam right to him. The reason I didn't do it before is because he intimidated me into keeping quit. I really want to report him so someone else doesn't have to go through what I went throu. I have a lot of proof and some witnesses Has anyone done anything like that before? Can I get in any legal trouble over it?

You will not get into trouble for reporting him since you have already left your job. However, my past experience shows that reporting something after you have left a job does zero good. The employer will assume you are a disgruntled employee looking for revenge.
My suggestion is that you contact a local employment attorney and have him/her review what has happened. If you quit due to pressures at work, you may have grounds for and EEOC or Department of Human Rights legal complaint. That type of complaint will get action from the employer and may even get you some compensation or your job back.

I see the questioner's question has been thoroughly addressed. Thank you Peacelily for that reference. Note also the April, 1 2007 Watchtower p. 30 Questions From Readers which similarly noted: (quote) From the late 1800’s until 1931, the main thrust of the preaching work was the gathering of the remaining members of the body of Christ. In 1931 the Bible Students took the Bible-based name Jehovah’s Witnesses, and in the November 15, 1933, issue of The Watchtower, the thought was expressed that this unique name was the “denarius” referred to in Jesus’ parable recorded at Matthew 20:1-16. The 12 hours mentioned in the parable were thought to correspond to the 12 years from 1919 to 1931. For many years after that, it was believed that the call to the heavenly Kingdom had ended in 1931 and that those called to be joint heirs with Christ in 1930 and 1931 were “the last” called. (Matthew 20:6-8) However, in 1966 an adjusted understanding of that parable was presented, and it became clear that it had nothing to do with the end of the calling of the anointed. (end quote)

No, you cannot get into any trouble for reporting your former boss...The US has what are called 'whistleblower' laws that are designed to protect those people who report their employers for illegal or unethical behaviors. Under these laws, employers cannot retaliate in any way if you report them.

Sounds reasonable to report him, as long as you have info to back up your charges.
