Do you have credible, timely, and original knowledge of federal securities fraud violations? Potential examples of such violations include (but aren’t limited to) Ponzi schemes, stock manipulation, and false or fraudulent corporate filings. 

Contact our North Dakota SEC whistleblower attorneys today if you do. You may be eligible to receive financial compensation if you share information or analysis of securities fraud violations with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our experienced attorneys, one of whom is a former SEC Enforcement Attorney, offer knowledgeable representation to SEC whistleblowers in North Dakota as well as throughout the country and abroad.

An SEC whistleblower is someone who provides the SEC with original information regarding potential securities fraud violations. According to the SEC’s current definition of a whistleblower, which applies to all aspects of the SEC Whistleblower Program, a whistleblower should provide this information in writing.

The SEC may initiate an enforcement proceeding if a whistleblower provides credible information. A whistleblower may be owed a bounty in these circumstances if the SEC’s enforcement proceeding results in payments of more than $1 million. An SEC whistleblower may be eligible to receive a bounty of 10% to 30% of the total amount the SEC collects.

It’s important to understand that merely submitting information to the SEC doesn’t guarantee a whistleblower will receive financial compensation. The SEC doesn’t investigate most tips it receives. In addition, a whistleblower must carefully follow specific rules to be eligible for a bounty.

This is why it’s essential to have proper representation from a North Dakota SEC whistleblower law firm when providing the SEC with information that may lead to a securities fraud violation case. An experienced Bismarck SEC whistleblower attorney can help you navigate the process correctly and confidently. Be aware that a whistleblower who hires a lawyer may also be able to remain anonymous.

The largest-ever SEC financial bounty awarded to a whistleblower is $279 million. The SEC awarded this bounty to an individual whistleblower who provided information and assistance that played a significant role in supporting an SEC investigation.

Commenting on this, our experienced SEC whistleblowers lawyers in North Dakota said, “While we were not involved in this case, this SEC whistleblower award recognizes the strength of the SEC Whistleblower Program and the ability for SEC Whistleblowers to be handsomely rewarded for coming forward and reporting to the SEC.”
