Thomson Reuters has released the 2019 update for the 2-volume

Jason Pickholz.
As explained by Thomson Reuters on its website, the book
“provides a thorough review of the application of the
securities laws and other criminal statutes in prosecutions,
along with an in-depth consideration of how the law is applied
in civil enforcement proceedings.”
One of the subjects featured in the book is the
SEC whistleblower program.
Entire Chapter on the SEC Whistleblower Program by SEC
Whistleblower Author Jason Pickholz
In addition to being an
SEC whistleblower lawyer, Jason Pickholz is also an SEC whistleblower author and
public speaker. In 2013,
Mr. Pickholz wrote an
entire chapter for his book devoted exclusively to the
SEC’s whistleblower program.
Some of the many subjects covered in the chapter are: general
eligibility prerequisites for
SEC whistleblowers;
exclusions from eligibility; how to submit
SEC whistleblower information; SEC
whistleblower protections; factors that may increase the
amount of an
SEC whistleblower award;
considerations that can decrease the amount of an
SEC whistleblower reward; and more.
The 2019 Update
As an SEC whistleblower author, each year Mr. Pickholz updates
the whistleblowers chapter to
reflect recent developments. The 2019 update includes new
material about:
-
the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in
Digital Realty Trust v. Somers (2018) regarding
private anti-retaliation protections under the Dodd-Frank
Act; - SEC whistleblower confidentiality;

the SEC’s “form and manner” requirements for submitting
information; - the SEC Form TCR;
