FCPA Blog reports on the financial regulatory reform bill and an FCPA whisteblower bounty.
Under the bill, which still needs to be reconciled with the House version and signed into law, FCPA whistleblowers could receive from 10% to 30% of amounts recovered through enforcement actions. The SEC would decide the final amount based on the originality and value of the information provided and how directly it led to the financial penalty against the defendant.
