Eric Ben-Artzi, a former Deutsche Bank risk officer, said he refused to accept his part of a $16.5 million whistleblower award. Ben-Artzi criticized regulators for not going after the senior executives responsible for the false accounting he exposed at Deutsche.

In a column in the Financial Times, he blamed the “revolving door” between Deutsche and the SEC.
