I wrote that I am not aware that the SEC has ever paid out a bounty for reporting inside trading. It seems to me that if they did, they would publicize it. I've sent in a few reports to that program...some scenarios where I had reasonable certainty that inside transactions had occurred...but have never heard about any prosecution in those cases. Not enough publicity value perhaps.
