In a recent series of decisions, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has issued millions of dollars in awards to whistleblowers. In August alone, those awards totaled more than $45 million. These awards are an important reminder for businesses to proactively look within and implement effective whistleblower programs to protect themselves from potential enforcement actions. While doing so, businesses should be aware of the implications of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Digital Realty Trust Inc. v. Somers on the CFTC’s whistleblower anti-retaliation protections.
