SEC announces new whistleblower award opportunities

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Office of the Whistleblower has today issued seven (7) new Notices of Covered Actions. Each of these notices is an opportunity for any whistleblowers to file a claim. If a whistleblower believes that his or her information contributed to the SEC’s collection in the action, then they have ninety (90) days to file a Form WB-APP with the SEC Office of the Whistleblower. For the notices issued today, the deadline to file Form WB-APP is December 31, 2012. The corporations and individuals from whom the SEC recovered the new available funds are Oracle Corporation, Wyeth LLC, Pfizer Inc., Wells Fargo Brokerage Services LLC, SJL Investment Management LLC, Irwin Boock, Stanton B. J. DeFreitas, Nicolette D. Loisel, Roger L. Shoss, Jason C. Wong, Nancy Shao Wen Chu, Elizabeth Tsang, aka Yuen Yee Tsang, Eric Jon Strasser, Shawn Patrick McMurty, and Stanley J. Kowalewski. If you submitted information about any of these penalty payers, now is the time to consult your lawyer about filing SEC Form WB-APP.

By the way, tomorrow is the last day to file claims for awards against Quantek Asset Management, LLC, Bulltick Capital Markets Holdings, LP, Javier Guerra, and Ralph Patino, James Roland Dial, Evan Nicolas Jarvis, and Alexander W. Ellerman, James Clements and Zeina Smidi, Conrad M. Black, F.
