Courts Says No to Rewarding Putnam Whistle-Blower


Peter Scannell, who blew the whistle on Putnam in the state and federal market-timing probes that eventually cost Putnam $193.5 million, will not see a penny of that money. The Boston Globe reports that Scannell has been seeking a payout under Massachusetts', False Claims Act, which encourages whistle blowers to step forward. A appeals panel decided that Scannell did not file a lawsuit at the time as required by the act.
