The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced its highest ever Dodd-Frank whistleblower awards, with two whistleblowers sharing a nearly $50 million award and a third whistleblower receiving more than $33 million. The previous highest award of $30 million was given in 2014.
Those are the extent of the details the SEC has provided; specific details were redacted from the SEC order. By law, the SEC protects the confidentiality of whistleblowers and does not disclose information that might directly or indirectly reveal a whistleblower’s identity.
