Big-$$$ Set Aside for Tipsters

November 1, 2010

The SEC has set aside about $452 million to reward tipsters under its new authority granted by Dodd-Frank.  While the SEC hasn't paid any whistleblowers under the new authority - and is still drafting rules to define the program - the funds, at least for now, are going to finance the SEC's inspector general's office.  The fund is financed by a portion of monetary sanctions collected by the SEC that aren't earmarked for harmed investors.   [Bloomberg, 10/29]
