What the document holds
SEC Order Determining Whistleblower Award Claims, Release No. 94398 (11 Mar 2022, File No. 2022-38, 11 pp., redacted): Commission departs from CRS denial and awards Claimant 1 about $14 million (already recorded), waiving a late Form TCR under Section 36(a); Claimant 2 (report co-author, no submission) denied; footnote 1: two joint claimants denied. Long legal discussion of Rules 21F-2, 21F-8(a), 21F-9 and Section 36(a); no new statistics or rule values. Added: 2 denial case rows; suggested note and summary correction (the existing note wrongly implies the CRS recommendation was adopted).
