The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced its fourth largest whistleblower award at $104 million, and yet another number stood out to me more: 11.
That was the amount of claimants that came forward to the SEC seeking a share of the award, according to the agency’s order released Friday. The bounty was ultimately split among seven whistleblowers, but the fact nearly a dozen individuals contacted the SEC seeking to provide information related to one action should be notable to companies regarding the stakes of the current whistleblower landscape.
