Whistleblowing Can Be Fun…

I am pleased to share an animated video created by my former colleague at the SEC, David Smyth. Through his short film, Whistleblower!, Smyth, who now works in the private sector at the law firm of Brooks, Pierce, McLendon, Humphrey & Leonard LLP, outlines some of the key provisions of the SEC Whistleblower Program. The film depicts a funny exchange between cartoon in-house counsel robots after learning that there’s a whistleblower in their ranks. Awareness of the SEC program is critical to its efficacy, so it is encouraging to see such a creative approach to educating the public about this important investor protection initiative.
