- whimsicalism 5y agoI feel like if we really cared about this, we would offer bounties or % of penalty. Oh and exempt workplace from two-party consent recording rules.
- ceejayoz 5y agoThe SEC offers that. https://www.sec.gov/whistleblower https://www.sec.gov/whistleblower > The Commission is authorized by Congress to provide monetary awards to eligible individuals who come forward with high-quality original information that leads to a Commission enforcement action in which over $1,000,000 in sanctions is ordered. The range for awards is between 10% and 30% of the money collected. Someone made $114M this way. https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2020-266 https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2020-266 If you like the idea, there's a bill proposed to give the same ability to the CFBP. https://www.banking.senate.gov/newsroom/majority/cortez-masto-introduces-bill-to-incentivize-whistleblowers-to-report-consumer-fraud-to-the-consumer-financial-protection-bureau https://www.banking.senate.gov/newsroom/majority/cortez-mast...
