The former chief executive officer of cyber-fraud prevention company NS8 now faces charges of impeding and retaliating against a whistleblower following an amended complaint from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Adam Rogas, a co-founder of NS8 who also served as the company’s former chief financial officer, was sentenced to five years in prison last month by a federal judge after pleading guilty to defrauding investors of more than $100 million. He was ordered to forfeit more than $17.5 million.

To both clean up corporate behaviour and rack up its own enforcement record, the UK’s anti-bribery agency has seemingly largely guaranteed companies a pass from prosecution if they spill the beans on their misconduct.
