introduction to the CTFC Whistleblower Program
Section 23 of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 26) established the CFTC Whistleblower Program, while the Whistleblower Rules (17 C.F.R. pt. 165) serve as the guidelines for implementing Section 23. These resources offer comprehensive information regarding the program, including the procedures for submitting whistleblower tips and applying for awards. The CFTC's Whistleblower Program offers financial incentives to individuals who disclose potential breaches of the Commodity Exchange Act, resulting in successful enforcement actions. Additionally, the program provides protections for whistleblowers, including privacy, confidentiality, and protection against retaliation.

Ask a Nashville Whistleblower attorney, you could be entitled to a significant whistleblower award. WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTIONSConfidentiality
The Commission is fully committed to whistleblower protections and safeguarding the anonymity of whistleblowers. As a general practice, the Commission treats any information obtained during an investigation, including the sources' identities, as confidential and not for public disclosure. However, there are certain limitations to the Commission's ability to protect your identity. Without the whistleblower's consent, the Commission will not reveal any information that could reasonably lead to the identification of the whistleblower, except under the following circumstances:
Anti-Retaliation
The Dodd-Frank Act has implemented whistleblower protections to prevent employers from retaliating against brave individuals who come forward and expose wrongdoing. It prohibits any actions that hinder potential whistleblowers from directly communicating with the Commission's staff regarding possible violations of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA). This includes preventing the enforcement of confidentiality agreements or arbitration agreements in relation to such communications.
Additionally, employers are prohibited from taking any discriminatory actions, such as termination, demotion, suspension, threats, or harassment, against whistleblowers who come forward with information about potential CEA violations. Both the CFTC and the whistleblower have the authority to take legal action against an employer for retaliatory behavior that violates the protections for whistleblowers. If you find yourself in a situation where you believe your employer has unlawfully retaliated against you for whistleblowing, you have the option to file a private lawsuit in federal court against your employer within a two-year timeframe from the retaliatory act. If successful, you may be entitled to reinstatement, back pay, reimbursement for legal costs, expert witness fees, and attorney's fees. The CFTC also holds jurisdiction under the CEA to initiate legal proceedings against employers for retaliation against whistleblowers. If you have been retaliated against for blowing the whistle, or you are thinking of blowing the whistle, contact Nashville whistleblower attorney Timothy L. Miles who can guide you through the whistleblower process and explain your whistleblower protections. The consultation is free and confidential. (855) 846–6529 or [email protected].
