it looks like this isn't really aimed at the public at large, but linking to the whistleblower page,

The Commission is authorized by Congress to provide monetary awards to eligible individuals who come forward with high-quality original information that leads to a Commission enforcement action in which over $1,000,000 in sanctions is ordered. The range for awards is between 10% and 30% of the money collected.

I don't think they are looking for our public opinions on this one, at least not from people like myself, I have absolutely nothing. In this case it looks like they are seeking valuable information, e.g. insider information from a whistleblower, that can be used in enforcement actions or maybe criminal charges.

but the SEC otherwise does provide opportunities to submit complaints, etc., do they not?
