Excerpt:WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced it is awarding nearly $4 million to two whistleblowers who provided information leading to the successful enforcement of a covered action.
Information from both whistleblowers formed the basis for the CFTC’s investigations underlying the covered action. One whistleblower provided information earlier in time and the other reported that the violative practices had continued. The initial whistleblower was awarded a higher award amount based on the timeliness of the reporting, among other factors.
