The SEC has awarded five whistleblowers more than $1.1 million for providing information that led to three successful enforcement actions. The first order credited three whistleblowers with information and assistance that led to two related enforcement actions; the three were awarded nearly $500,000. The second order awarded nearly $600,000 to an individual who reported concerns internally before providing extensive assistance to SEC investigators. The third order awarded over $100,000 to an individual who provided independent analysis of publicly available documents; this is the fifth such whistleblower this fiscal year who has granted an award.
