    SEC Distributes $24 Million to Whistleblowers in Significant Enforcement Case

    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has awarded over $24 million to two whistleblowers whose tips and cooperation were crucial in a major enforcement action. This case highlights the essential role whistleblowers play in exposing misconduct that might otherwise go undetected.

    Timely Reporting Leads to Investigation

    The first whistleblower, who initially alerted the SEC to the misconduct, was granted $4 million. Their timely information led to the opening of the investigation. The second whistleblower, who provided detailed insights and continued cooperation, received a larger share of $20 million. Their contributions were vital, particularly in a case involving complex actions in foreign jurisdictions.

    Creola Kelly, Chief of the SEC’s Office of the Whistleblower, remarked, “Today’s awards emphasize the remarkable public service provided by whistleblowers. Without their information, which related to conduct occurring abroad, the SEC might have faced significant challenges in uncovering the misconduct.”

    Whistleblower Program Funded by Sanctions

    The SEC’s whistleblower program is funded entirely by monetary sanctions imposed on those who violate securities laws. These payments are made from an investor protection fund established by Congress, ensuring that taxpayer money is not used for the program.

    Whistleblowers can receive between 10% and 30% of the monetary sanctions collected in cases where the total exceeds $1 million. The recent $24 million payout underscores the effectiveness of the SEC’s whistleblower program.

    Other Recent Awards

    In a similar move, the SEC awarded $37 million last month to a whistleblower who provided crucial information in another enforcement case. This individual offered unique insights unknown to the SEC, which significantly aided the investigation.

    The whistleblower saved the SEC valuable time and resources by meeting with enforcement staff and identifying potential witnesses and key documents. Their actions were pivotal in the enforcement action, which resulted in the recovery of millions for affected investors.

    Commenting on the award, Kelly stated, “Today’s award underscores the importance of the SEC’s whistleblower program, as the whistleblower’s information played a crucial role in returning millions of dollars to harmed investors.”
