A Related Action is a successful judicial or administrative action brought by certain other specified entities that is based on the original information provided by a whistleblower that led to the successful enforcement of a CFTC action. Those entities may include the U.S. Department of Justice (for both civil and criminal matters); other federal departments or agencies, like the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission; state criminal or appropriate civil agencies; registered entities, registered futures associations, or self-regulatory organizations, like the National Futures Association; and foreign futures authorities. The Related Action must be based on the same original information that the whistleblower voluntarily submitted to the Commission and led to a successful resolution of the Commission judicial or administrative action. Rule 165.11, 165.2(m). In other words, if your information did not lead to a CFTC action, then you will not be eligible for an award on a Related Action.
