Press Release Number 8974-24: CFTC Announces Four Orders Granting Whistleblower Awards – Marking the Most in a Single Day

CFTC press release 8974-24 (23 Sep 2024): four orders (24-WB-09 to 24-WB-12) granting about $4.5 million to seven whistleblowers (case already recorded as one row, c-27e1287a78): four fraud victims (CFTC and related criminal action), one victim reporting a repeat offender, one market participant, one compliance/internal-audit employee who waited 120 days after reporting internally (second award under the 120-day safe harbour, after release 8878-24); the release does not tie these groups to order numbers or amounts, so no per-order rows. 12 orders granting awards in the fiscal year (most on record); cumulative totals (about $380 million; sanctions nearly $3.2 billion). Added the FY2024 count, two cumulative observations and the percentage rules.
