Jane Norberg, Chief of the SEC Office of the Whistleblower, stated:
"[W]e hope to continue to encourage individuals to submit high-quality tips that we can leverage to enforce the law and protect investors. . . ."
To date, the SEC whistleblower program has awarded more than $136 million to 37 whistleblowers since issuing its first award in 2012.
