The Securities and Exchange Commission said Monday it has granted two awards totaling more than $4 million to whistleblowers who provided information and assistance in two separate cases.
In the first order, the SEC awarded about $2.6 million to a whistleblower who provided significant new information to an existing investigation that alerted agency staff to misconduct occurring overseas, which would have been difficult to detect otherwise, the SEC said in a statement.
In the second order, the SEC awarded about $1.5 million to joint whistleblowers who provided substantial ongoing assistance during an investigation.
The SEC does not release information that could reveal whistleblowers’ identities.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said Wednesday it has awarded nearly $3 million to a whistleblower whose information and assistance led to a successful enforcement action.
