As the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s whistleblower program continues to spin out multimillion-dollar financial awards to tipsters who report wrongdoing on Wall Street, plaintiffs firm Labaton Sucharow has beefed up its whistleblower practice, hiring former high-ranking SEC official Richard Levine.
