New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman Proposes Bill To Reward And Protect Whistleblowers Who Report Financial Crimes - Financial Frauds Whistleblower Act Would Provide Monetary Incentive To Employees With Information About Financial Misconduct; Protect Against Retaliation By Employers - Schneiderman: New York Has A Unique Opportunity To Set The Gold Standard For States Seeking To Expose And Hold Individuals Accountable For Financial Crimes

Date 26/02/2015

Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced today that he would propose legislation in Albany to protect and reward employees who report information about illegal activity in the banking, insurance, and financial services industries. Currently, no law exists in New York State to protect or incentivize whistleblowers who report securities and other financial frauds. Attorney General Schneiderman’s bill – the Financial Frauds Whistleblower Act – would provide financial compensation to whistleblowers who voluntarily report fraud in their industry, and whose tips lead to more than $1 million in penalties or settlement proceeds. The bill would also guarantee the confidentiality of the whistleblower’s information, and make it illegal for any employer to retaliate in response. The rewards paid to whistleblowers will be drawn from monetary recoveries paid by those who commit wrongdoing, and not out of state funds, making this a cost-free way to increase the government’s ability to detect frauds and obtain recoveries.

Date 26/02/2015

Good morning and welcome to the inaugural meeting of the CFTC’s reconstituted Energy and Environmental Markets Advisory Committee (EEMAC). Congress created the EEMAC as part of the Dodd-Frank Act because it recognized the critical need for a forum in which “exchanges, firms, end users and regulators” could advise the Commission of their concerns regarding “energy and environmental markets and their regulation by the Commission.”[1] Congress was so concerned that the Commission know the effects its rules and policies have on energy and environmental markets that it mandated the EEMAC hold at least two public meetings each year.[2] Disappointingly, no EEMAC meetings have been held since the Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law.
