"How to Make Money Blowing Whistles"

[LeighAnn]

Excerpt from Money Talk News:

The U.S. government may not like it when people reveal state secrets, as WikiLeaks did last year (and just did again). But if you snitch on big business? They just might make it worth your while.

As part of the gigantic financial reform bill passed last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission introduced a new program last month that can reward whistleblowers with bounties that range from $100,000 to millions. The SEC, which regulates financial investments, is looking for tips on fraud and misconduct they can use to hit big companies with penalties of $1 million or more.

If everything works out, the tipster gets a cut – 10 to 30 percent, depending on how helpful you are, how you got the info, and whether you were involved in any of the illegal activity yourself.
