The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Whistleblower Program has fined companies more than $1 billion since 2011.
Since its inception, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Whistleblower Program has fined wrongdoers more than $1.7 billion. “Whistleblowers have played a crucial role in the progression of many investigations and the success of enforcement actions,” said Jane Norberg, SEC chief of the Whistleblower Program, following the $16 million payout to two whistleblowers in November 2017.
