Paul Creech has represented CFTC Whistleblowers and protected, navigated and counseled them through the process and into their reward.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act allows a whistleblower to receive rewards for reporting fraud in the commodities markets and violations of the law and CFTC regulations. The reward is calculated as a percentage of the CFTC receives as part of an enforcement action.
CFTC Whistleblowers Remain Anonymous
CFTC whistleblower reports are filed in secret to allow the CFTC to conduct an investigation based on the whistleblower’s information. The CFTC closely guards the identity of the whistleblower. With the help of an attorney, the whistleblowers identity can remain anonymous from the CFTC while allowing the whistleblower to recover their full reward. The CFTC rewards successful whistleblowers with between 10-30% of the money recovered through the whistleblower’s report.
