SEC Whistleblower Office Annual Report: Two of Eight Awards to [Jordan Thomas][prior firm][‘s] Clients

Late yesterday, the SEC Office of the Whistleblower issued its annual report to Congress chronicling the program’s activities during the prior fiscal year. We summarized the results in a piece for the FCPA Blog here. Looking at the eight whistleblower awards issued this past year, there are two notable firsts: the first whistleblower award to a company officer and the first time the Commission flexed its muscle by issuing an award to a whistleblower who suffered retaliation. We are so gratified to note that both of these landmark actions involve [Jordan Thomas][prior firm][‘s] clients. For more information on the whistleblower program results, see the full report here.
