Hedge Fund Fraud Lawyer Represents Financial Professionals and Investors Who Want to Earn Large Financial Rewards by Confidentially Exposing Investment Fraud by Hedge Fund Fraud Lawyer and Financial Fraud Lawyer Jason Coomer

Large whistleblower rewards are being offered to financial professionals and investors who want to expose large scale investment fraud including hedge fund fraud, insider trading, and stock manipulation schemes.  These financial reward laws are designed to encourage persons with original knowledge of significant financial fraud to expose fraud as well as protect financial professionals and investors who expose fraud.

Investment Fraud Bounty Actions Can Be Used to Expose Securities Fraud, Commodities Fraud, and other Forms of Investment Fraud

With the success of the Federal False Claims Act that has been able to collect billions of dollars, the United States has enacted new Bounty Action Laws to expose investment fraud, commodities fraud, and securities fraud. These Bounty Action Whistleblower Reward Laws are section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act (SEC Whistleblower Bounty Actions), and section 23 of the Commodity Exchange Act (CFTC Whisteblower Bounty Actions). These laws were passed in the wake of Financial Market Melt Down in 2008 and in response to massive fraud in the financial markets. These whistleblower recovery laws are designed to encourage people with specialized knowledge of significant investment fraud, securities fraud, SEC violations, commodity futures fraud, violations of the foreign corrupt practices act, and other financial fraud. These whistleblower reward laws were also designed to protect whistleblowers that step up and blow the whistle on financial fraud.

Through the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) Bounty Actions, the CFTC and SEC will award between ten percent and thirty percent of the money collected to a qualified whistleblower who voluntarily provides the CFTC and SEC with original information about a violation of the securities laws that leads to a successful enforcement of an action brought by the CFTC and/or SEC that results in monetary sanctions exceeding $1,000,000.00.  For large investment fraud schemes, these financial rewards can be several million dollars or even over a billion dollars.
