United States SEC Awards $104 Million to 7 Whistleblowers, Issued Largest-ever Payout of $279 Million to Whistleblower in 2023 May Which Helped Recovered $4 Billion to Investors
4th August 2023 | Hong Kong
The United States Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) has awarded a total of $104 million to 7 whistleblowers, having recently issued in May 2023 the largest-ever payout of $279 million to a whistleblower helping to recover more than $4 billion to investors. United States SEC: “The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced awards of more than $104 million to seven individuals whose information and assistance led to a successful SEC enforcement action and related actions brought by another agency. Today’s combined award is the fourth largest in the SEC’s whistleblower program’s history. The seven whistleblowers were composed of two sets of joint claimants and three single claimants, and each provided information that either prompted the opening of or significantly contributed to an SEC investigation. The seven individuals’ assistance to the staff included providing documents supporting the allegations of misconduct, sitting for interviews, and identifying potential witnesses.” Creola Kelly, Chief of the SEC’s Office of the Whistleblower: “Today’s awards show that specific and credible information plays an integral part in the SEC’s enforcement efforts. These whistleblowers provided information that helped Enforcement staff detect and prosecute wrongdoing in a timely manner.” Payments to whistleblowers are made out of an investor protection fund, established by Congress, which is financed entirely through monetary sanctions paid to the SEC by securities law violators. No money has been taken or withheld from harmed investors to pay whistleblower awards. Whistleblowers may be eligible for an award when they voluntarily provide the SEC with original, timely, and credible information that leads to a successful enforcement action, and adhere to filing requirements in the whistleblower rules. Whistleblower awards can range from 10 to 30 percent of the money collected when the monetary sanctions exceed $1 million. As set forth in the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC protects the confidentiality of whistleblowers and does not disclose any information that could reveal a whistleblower’s identity.

United States SEC Issues Largest-ever Payout of $279 Million to Whistleblower to Help Recover $4 Billion to Investors, Previous Record Payout of $114 Million in October 2020

10th May 2023 – The United States Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued the largest-ever payout of $279 million to a whistleblower helping to recover more than $4 billion to investors. The United States SEC previous whistleblower record payout was $114 million in October 2020. Creola Kelly, Chief of the SEC’s Office of the Whistleblower: “The whistleblower’s sustained assistance including multiple interviews and written submissions was critical to the success of these actions. While the whistleblower’s information did not prompt the opening of the Commission’s investigation, their information expanded the scope of misconduct charged.” Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement: “The size of today’s award – the highest in our program’s history – not only incentivizes whistleblowers to come forward with accurate information about potential securities law violations, but also reflects the tremendous success of our whistleblower program. This success directly benefits investors, as whistleblower tips have contributed to enforcement actions resulting in orders requiring bad actors to disgorge more than $4 billion in ill-gotten gains and interest. As this award shows, there is a significant incentive for whistleblowers to come forward with accurate information about potential securities law violations.” Whistleblower awards can range from 10% to 30% of the money collected when the monetary sanctions exceed $1 million. More info below.
5th May 2023 – The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the largest-ever award, nearly $279 million, to a whistleblower whose information and assistance led to the successful enforcement of SEC and related actions. This is the highest award in the SEC’s whistleblower program’s history, more than doubling the $114 million whistleblower award the SEC issued in October 2020.
Payments to whistleblowers are made out of an investor protection fund, established by Congress, which is financed entirely through monetary sanctions paid to the SEC by securities law violators. No money has been taken or withheld from harmed investors to pay whistleblower awards. Whistleblowers may be eligible for an award when they voluntarily provide the SEC with original, timely, and credible information that leads to a successful enforcement action, and adhere to filing requirements in the whistleblower rules. Whistleblower awards can range from 10 to 30 percent of the money collected when the monetary sanctions exceed $1 million.
As set forth in the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC protects the confidentiality of whistleblowers and does not disclose any information that could reveal a whistleblower’s identity.
