Dodd-Frank Overhaul Could Spark Rebound in SOX Whistle-Blower Cases | Bloomberg BNA

By Securities Docket on June 9, 2017, 2:28 pm

Legislation to rewrite the Dodd-Frank Act is likely to be voted on in the House this week. But the overhaul envisioned in the Financial Choice Act could have one unintended consequence: a possible rebound in the number of SOX whistle-blower claims filed against companies.

The Financial Choice Act would prevent the Securities and Exchange Commission from awarding “culpable” whistle-blowers that took part in the misconduct they report. The bill would obliterate the SEC’s reasonable approach to culpable whistle-blowers and undermine enforcement efforts at the expense of ordinary Americans and shareholders, Dallas Hammer with Zuckerman Law told Bloomberg BNA.
