SEC Bounty Action Rewards and CFTC Bounty Action Rewards Help Regulate the Financial Markets by Anonymous Bounty Action Reward Lawyer

Securities Exchange Commission SEC Bounty Action Rewards and Commodity Future Trading Commission CFTC Bounty Action Rewards Help Regulate the Global Financial Markets by Anonymous Bounty Action Reward Lawyer Jason Coomer

The SEC and CFTC regulate the financial markets in the United States. In regulating these markets and protecting investors, both agencies have vast powers. These powers allow these agencies to enforce illegal conduct throughout the world that impacts the United States financial markets. Further, because of the vast areas that these agencies regulate, they use bounty actions to detect illegal conduct. More specifically, both agencies offer large financial rewards to anonymous whistleblowers who expose significant illegal conduct.  

SEC and CFTC Bounty Actions Help Regulate the Global Financial Markets


SEC Bounty Actions Reward More Than $387 million to Whistleblowers  

SEC Bounty Actions reward more than $387 million to 72 whistleblowers since issuing its first award in 2012. Further, the SEC is actively seeking individuals with original information of significant illegal schemes. Through SEC Bounty Actions these individuals can anonymously expose securities fraud and other illegal conduct through a lawyer and collect large financial rewards.  Further, the SEC commonly works with other governmental agencies including the Commodities Future Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ).  For more information on SEC Bounty Action Rewards, please go to the following web page: SEC ETF Bounty Actions and Market Manipulations and Anonymous Whistleblower Reward Lawyer and SEC Bounty Actions.

CFTC Bounty Actions Reward More Than $100 million to Whistleblowers

CFTC Bounty Actions reward more than $100 million to CFTC whistleblowers who have exposed illegal conduct resulting in over $800 million in fines. Further, the CFTC is actively seeking information regarding money laundering schemes, market manipulation schemes, investment fraud schemes, swap fraud schemes, illegal cryptocurrency and block chain fraud schemes, investment fraud, and other types of illegal conduct that impact our financial markets. The information must be original and given voluntarily. Further, the illegal conduct must result in the recovery of significant funds which are more than $1 million.

Both The SEC and CFTC Work With Whistleblowers and Other Governmental Entities Around the World

Both the SEC and CFTC work with other governmental entities and whistleblowers around the world on illegal international schemes. More specifically, these agencies recently worked with governmental entities in France and Great Britain to impose over $4 billion in fines on a large multinational corporation.  Since December 2019 these agencies have worked with other agencies across international borders to recover over $5 billion.  These multi-agency efforts and cooperation exposed international illegal bribery schemes that resulted in significant fines and penalties.

Further, these bounty actions also regulate illegal conduct that originates in other countries, but impact the financial markets in the United States. More specifically, international whistleblowers can earn large financial rewards by exposing illegal investment fraud schemes made by foreign investors as well as other illegal conduct made by multinational corporations that are publicly traded in the United States or do significant business in the United States.  For more information on this topic, please go to the following web page: International Whistleblower Rewards and Anonymous Reporting.
