The CFTC awarded more than $2 million to an individual
whistleblower for information provided in connection with a CFTC
action and a related action brought by another federal regulator.
The Director of the CFTC Whistleblower Office Christopher Ehrman
stated that the action illustrates that (i) a whistleblower need
not be an "insider" and (ii) the CFTC can pay awards for
related actions brought by other regulators.
