An unnamed whistleblower has been awarded
$6 million for providing what the CFTC called specific, credible, and timely information that ultimately led to a successful enforcement action. Since the agency’s whistleblower program was started in 2014, the CFTC has recovered nearly $900 million through whistleblower tips, and has awarded over $110 million to the whistleblowers involved with those recoveries.
