The SEC said the whistleblower was the initial source of a company’s internal investigation, and the source for investigations by the commission and another agency. In line with the SEC’s policy, the regulator didn’t disclose details about the case.

Whistleblowers are eligible for awards ranging from 10% to 30% of the amount of money collected in enforcement cases where penalties exceed $1 million.
