The whistleblower rules and insider trading

The SEC has adopted Dodd-Frank whistleblower rules (see Law Blog story) which have sparked controversy because they award bounties without requiring use of internal corporate reporting mechanisms. Whistleblower organizations are happy, corporations not so much. It’s a good time to remember my proposal last year to let the whistleblowers trade: The beauty of the insider ...
